Pertalite and Pertamax Fuel Price per Litre in Bali

Pertalite and Pertamax fuel price per litre in Bali can differ between petrol stations and change over time, so check the official price before you set off. This guide explains how to work out how much fuel you will need during your holiday in Bali.

What Is the Difference Between Pertalite and Pertamax?

In Indonesia the two fuels most often used by visitors are Pertalite and Pertamax. Pertalite has a lower octane rating and is usually cheaper. Pertamax has a higher octane rating and costs more. For a daily automatic scooter, Pertalite is enough for most vehicles, but the right fuel type should always follow the recommendation in your vehicle's manual.

What Is the Price per Litre in Bali?

Fuel prices, both subsidised and non-subsidised, are set by the government and Pertamina and can change at any time. That is why this article does not list a fixed figure. The safest way is:

1. Check the price board at the nearest petrol station when you arrive in Bali.
2. Look at the official Pertamina app or website for the latest prices.
3. Compare the price per litre, not only the price per full tank, so the sums are easy to do.

Prices at petrol stations in tourist areas such as Kuta, Seminyak, Canggu and Ubud can be slightly different from other areas. Always check against the price board displayed on site.

How to Calculate Fuel Costs During Your Holiday

To estimate costs, use a simple formula:

Litres needed = distance per day (km) ÷ consumption (km per litre)

Then multiply by the price per litre you see at the petrol station. Example for an automatic scooter covering 60 km a day with consumption of about 40 km per litre:

Actual consumption depends on road conditions, speed, load and riding habits. In Bali, congested traffic and the hilly routes in areas such as Kintamani or Bedugul usually make consumption higher.

Tips for Saving Fuel When Riding in Bali

• Refuel regularly, before the tank runs low, especially if your route goes through mountain areas.
• Keep tyre pressure at the level given in the vehicle's instructions.
• Avoid revving hard at traffic lights or in jams.
• Plan your route: main roads can be quicker, but busy-hour traffic makes fuel use worse.

Is Fuel Included in the Rental Price?

Fuel is usually not included in the daily rental rate. Ask about the fuel level when the vehicle is handed over, and take a photo of the gauge so there is no misunderstanding when you return it.
