Sarawut Kaewtathip, director-general of DOEB, said the country consumed an average of 154.85 million litres per day last year. Conversely, the aviation sector rose, with commercial aviation fuel use up by 7.6% to 17.2 million litres a day, fuelled by a 5.2% increase in flights and government-backed tourism campaigns.
