Pertamax Green: Price, Vehicle Types, and Advantages
Talking about fuel (BBM), there are various variants, starting from Diesel, Bio Diesel, Pertamina Dexlite, Pertalite, Pertamax, Pertamax turbo, to Pertamax racing. However, recently there is another new variant of fuel from the Pertamax type, namely Pertamax Green. So, how much does it cost? What type of vehicles is this new fuel variant suitable for? And what are its advantages? To find out, let’s pay attention to the following information.
What is Pertamax Green?
Pertamax Green is one of the new fuel products released by Pertamina. This fuel has a RON (Research Octane Number) content of 95. The high RON content comes from a mixture of Pertamax (RON 92) and 5% Bioethanol (E5). Thus, vehicles using this type of fuel will have low exhaust emissions. This is because bioethanol is a type of alcohol or ethanol made from plants.
How Much Does Pertamax Green Cost?
So, how much is Pertamax Green in the market? According to Patra Niaga Riva Siahaan (President Director of PT Pertamina), during the launch of Pertamax Green 95 at the MT Haryono gas station, it was stated that this new type of fuel will be sold at an economical price of Rp13,500 per liter.
Types of Vehicles That Can Use Pertamax Green
So, can Pertamax Green be used for all types of vehicles? The answer is no. Pertamax Green can only be consumed by gasoline-powered vehicles and cannot be used in vehicles with diesel fuel. In other words, Pertamax Green can be used in all types of vehicles that consume fuel like Pertalite or Pertamax.
Advantages of Pertamax Green
So, what are the advantages of Pertamax Green compared to other types of fuel? Here are the complete advantages.
1. Has a RON content of 95

In addition, the use of ethanol in fuel can also provide other benefits, such as reducing dependence on fossil fuels, fostering the development of local industries, which also impacts economic growth. Furthermore, the ethanol content can also be sourced from local resources, as ethanol can be made from several plants, such as sugarcane, corn, cassava, and other plants.
3. Affordable price
The next advantage can be seen from the price aspect. Pertamax Green can be said to have a more affordable price compared to Pertamina Turbo, which is sold at Rp15,450. For just Rp13,500 per liter, you can get Pertamax Green that can clean the vehicle's engine, improve acceleration, and help the government reduce air pollution in Indonesia.
