Heaptalk, Tangerang Regency – Following up on the Circular Letter from the Metrology Directorate Number MR.03.03/631.1/PKTN/SD/11/2023 regarding the Implementation of Supervision, Observation, and Legal Monitoring of National Religious Holidays, Department of Industry and Trade (Disperindag) Tangerang Regency carried out an accuracy checking of fuel oil at some gas stations for the upcoming Christmas and 2024 New Year celebrations.
“This activity was initiated to ensure the accuracy of fuel filling measurement,” said the Head of Disperindag Tangerang Regency, Resmiyati Marningsing after checking the gas station at Cikupa, Monday (18/12).
According to Resmiyati, this examination is a continuation from the previous one that had been done at Curug, Kawidaran, and Jayanti gas stations.
“We held this examination to ensure the accuracy of said fuel filing measurement at those mentioned gas stations so locals should not be in doubt if there is fraud while filling the fuel,” explained Resmiyati.
Resmiyati added, “For the checking process we refer to the measurements of the measuring instruments at gas stations. So, we ensure that the measurement is correct, if a consumer buys for one litre then they have to get one litre.”’
Resmiyati conveyed that this move also aim to assure the fuel stock availability for the upcoming Nataru celebration.
The Head of Metrology of Disperindag Tangerang Regency, Irwan Hengki, said that the gas stations measurement checks are performed routinely to protect consumers from fraudism.
“If any kind of cheat is found, the public is asked to report the case by including evidence to the Metrology Department of the Tangerang Regency Disperindag,” he stated.
Irwan hoped that the action initiated by the Tangerang Department of Industry and Trade could make Christmas and New Year’s trips more amusing, enjoyable, and relaxing.
“As we all know, going home for Christmas and New Year could be totally done in 2023 and this year. And for that, we hope there would be no parties that take a one-sided benefit such as the lack of fuel and petrol stocks decreasing due to some kind of fraud of the gas station measurements,” he explained.
For the gas station, Irwan explained that according to Pertamina, the price of Pertamax fuel has decreased from previously Rp13,400 per litre to Rp13.500 per litre.
The price of Pertamax Turbo also decreased from Rp15.500 per litre to Rp15.350 per litre. Then, the Dexlite fuel also decreased from the previous Rp16.950 per litre to Rp15.550 per litre. Meanwhile Pertalite has maintained for Rp10.000 per litre.
