Thailand's fuel consumption ticks up y/y in Q1

Quick Summary:

Thailand's fuel consumption rose by 1.3% year-on-year to 158.6 million litres per day (MLD) in the first quarter, with diesel and gasohol usage falling, in line with economic circumstances in early 2025, says the Department of Energy Business.

The popularity of CNG is declining even though national oil and gas conglomerate PTT Plc, the country's sole gas seller, has given discounts on gas prices for taxi and bus drivers.

The country's economic growth plays a key role in determining how much energy is used, said department director-general Sarawut Kaewtathip.
