Queues of cars and motorcycles stretching up to a kilometer in places across Denpasar, Kuta, Badung, and Jembrana. Some stations closed after running dry (Buluh Indah, Cokroaminoto in Denpasar, near RSUP Prof Ngoerah). Others open but with multi-hour waits. Traffic jams from the lines. Governor Wayan Koster Tuesday: stocks at Manggis and Sanggaran/Pesanggaran depots remain adequate. Problem is delivery trucks stuck in congestion plus a surge in demand and panic buying. Expects normalization in 1–2 days. Denied diversion of supplies for MotoGP Mandalika. Pertamina Patra Niaga: Pertalite consumption up to about 2,200 kiloliters per day from 2,000–2,100. Three shipments totaling 26,200 kiloliters scheduled for Oct. 12, 14, and 16. One tanker already arrived at Sanggaran terminal Tuesday. Distribution prioritized and running 24 hours. Tourism operators report unpredictable travel times.
