Hatta Not Convinced Premium Luxury Car Use

Hatta Rajasa: confident Premium only consumed by the public is entitled.

The government has yet to decide the implementation of the program setting fuel consumption (fuel) subsidized. The original plan, the government began to ban the use of Premium for black plate car from 1 April 2011.

The plan of this arrangement because the consumption of subsidized fuel quota has exceeded the budget. Of course, this causes the subsidy to swell.

Crude oil price hike is considered as one trigger of the high consumption of Premium. Imagine, the current price of gasoline is not subsidized type Pertamax priced Rp8.600 per liter. Meanwhile, the Premium only Rp4.500 per liter. Pertamax price almost doubled Premium.

However, Coordinating Minister Hatta Rajasa believe, Premium only consumed by the public is entitled. "I am not sure of luxury cars still use gasoline," said Hatta in Serang, Banten, Friday, April 1, 2011.

About, thinking the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources (EMR), Darwin Zahedy Saleh, who want to change the name into Gasoline Poor Premium, Hatta claimed not discuss further.

According to him, the most important is in fact not a name, but how do people realize that the premium was reserved for public transport and people who can not afford. "Therefore, for those who are able, buy Pertamax," he said.
