JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – Consumption of fuel oil (BBM) in motor vehicles is now one of the important factors to determine the amount of operating and ownership costs for a certain period.
Moreover, the Indonesian government some time ago has raised the selling price of fuel up to 32 percent nationally. Making the burden of daily car use costs will also be raised.
