The Indonesian government and the House of Representatives have agreed on a lower quota of subsidized fuel for next year, the Jakarta Post reported Friday.

The consumption of heavily subsidized premium gasoline should not exceed 17.08 million kiloliter (kl), kerosene 10 million kl and diesel fuel 14.5 million kl next year, the house concluded after a meeting with Indonesian Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Purnomo Yusgiantoro on Thursday.

"We will not total the quota," said house member Agusman Effendi, adding that such practice had given room for the government to tamper with the quota's fuel compensation.
