Shell lowers gasoline prices

PT Shell Indonesia, an Indonesian unit of Anglo-Dutch energy firm Royal Dutch/ Shell Plc, has lowered prices for high-octane gasoline following the drop in crude oil prices in the international market.

The company said in a statement that the price adjustment was made thanks to the drop in the regional fuel prices as indicated in the fall in the price index under Means of Platts Singapore.

Currently, Shell has 23 gas stations in Jakarta-Bogor-Depok-Tangerang-Bekasi area. (godang)
