Despite global oil price drop, BBM prices at Pertamina, Shell, Vivo, and BP remain unchanged
The newly imposed U.S. import tariffs under President Donald Trump have coincided with a drop in global oil prices, yet fuel prices across major Indonesian fuel stations remain stable this August.
Tariffs Trigger Oil Price Drop
The U.S. import tariffs, officially effective Thursday, 7 August 2025, pushed Brent crude oil prices down from USD 72.47 per barrel on 30 July to USD 66.43 per barrel on 7 August. Despite the dip, domestic fuel prices in Indonesia have not shifted.
Pertamina Prices Stay Firm
As of 11 August 2025, Pertamina’s Jakarta stations maintain their early-August rates:
- Pertalite: Rp10,000/litre (SGD 0.80)
- Solar Subsidi: Rp6,800/litre (SGD 0.54)
- Pertamax: Rp12,200/litre (SGD 0.98)
- Pertamax Turbo: Rp13,000/litre (SGD 1.04)
- Pertamax Green: Rp13,200/litre (SGD 1.06)
- Dexlite: Rp13,850/litre (SGD 1.11)

BP Matches Market Stability

- BP 92: Rp12,550/litre (SGD 1.00)
- BP Ultimate Diesel: Rp14,380/litre (SGD 1.15)
Vivo Prices Remain Level
Vivo fuel rates for August are unchanged:

- Revvo 92: Rp12,580/litre (SGD 1.01)
- Revvo 95: Rp13,050/litre (SGD 1.04)

While global oil prices respond to shifting U.S. trade policies, Indonesia’s fuel prices at major providers remain insulated — offering price stability for motorists despite international market volatility. For consumers in Indonesia and regional neighbors like Singapore, this steadiness provides a rare reprieve from global energy uncertainty.
