According to Erick, quoted from Merdeka.com, Friday, September 8, 2023.

According to Erick, the only thing that exists is the efficiency of using Pertalite. With that, people who are considered capable should not be allowed to buy Pertalite. "Don't let capable people buy subsidized gasoline," he added.

The former President of Inter Milan confirms that until now Pertalite stock is still available in the market. "That's why Pertalite still exists," he said.

"Even if there are capable communities willing to help in air pollution control like in Brazil, now there is a mixture of fuel with bioethanol because it is good, in Brazil 67 percent of cars use bioethanol, that's why the sky is blue," said Erick.

"Previously, President Director of PT Pertamina (Persero) Nicke Widyawati proposed the elimination of RON 90 fuel or Pertalite starting in 2024. The elimination of Pertalite follows the regulations set by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK) which establish RON 91 as the lowest grade of fuel that can be sold in Indonesia."

To implement the policy, Nicke has also proposed a reduction in ethanol import duties. At that time, the study called Program Blue Sky Phase 2 was still being discussed internally and had not been decided by the government.
