Metta Bunturngsuk, director-general of the Department of Energy Business, said total consumption of gasohol 95 and 91 _ or 10% ethanol mixed with 90% gasoline _ rose 63.7% to 179 million litres in October from 110 million litres during the same period last year.
Premium and regular gasoline consumption fell 11.4% to 441 million litres from 498 million litres last year, the second consecutive month it has fallen.
