"I was accompanied by Lemigas as well as the President Director of Pertamina (Simon Aloysius Mantiri) to directly check the quality of our oil," Bahlil said at a press conference in Cilegon, Wednesday, March 13.

In the test, Lemigas found that the quality of fuel at the gas station was in accordance with the standards set by the Directorate General of Oil and Gas (Dirjen Migas) of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources.

"We check and everything is with technology, with the average lab everything is within the rules above 725. Meanwhile, the Director General's regulations are 715 to 770," he said.

For this reason, Bahlil appealed to people who will go home and also users of Pertamina's fuel to no longer doubt the quality of fuel produced by this state-owned oil and gas company.

"There is no need to doubt the quality of the fuel prepared by Pertamina. Both RON 90 and RON 92 and RON 98," said Bahlil.

During this visit, Bahlil was accompanied by the President Director of PT Pertamina (Persero), Head of BPH Migas Erika Retnowati and Mayor of CIrebon, Robinsar.
