Pertamina is facing fuel supply problems across Bali, with shortages of Pertalite and Pertamax gasoline reported in areas including Badung, Denpasar, Kuta, and Jembrana. Gas stations have run out of stock, leading to long queues and massive traffic congestion. Some drivers have been forced to seek alternative refueling methods, including purchasing fuel from street vendors in plastic bottles.
