Fuel consumption drops by 1.7%
Thailand saw its fuel consumption decline by 1.7% to an average of 136 million litres per day during the first half of this year, largely attributed to the third wave of Covid-19, says the Department of Energy Business.
Average fuel consumption stood at 138 million litres per day in the same period last year.
Jet fuel continued to see the biggest decline by 54% to an average of 4.6 million litres a day, down from 10 million litres, followed by a drop in compressed natural gas consumption by 18.6% to 3,300 tonnes on average a day from 4,054 tonnes in the same period last year, said department chief Nantika Thangsuphanich.
