The rise in fuel prices continues - unusual loads were recorded tonight (Sunday) at gas stations ahead of the rise in prices at midnight.
95-octane gasoline fuel will cost tomorrow (Monday) at 23 agorot and will stand at NIS 6.62 per liter in self-service.
The supplement for full service will be 21 agorot per liter (including VAT), without change from the previous month. In this way, the fuel tariff completes the increase of one shekel per liter within a year.
The tax component in the price of fuel is skyrocketing, as it is known, and stands at NIS 4.07 per liter, which constitutes more than 61% of its price.
Last month, the price of fuel rose after a nine-month rise in prices broke last September, when its self-service price fell by 5 cents to 6.31 ag per liter of 95-octane unleaded gasoline.

Last January, the price of a liter of fuel at stations was NIS 5.51.
At its peak, in April 2020, its price was only NIS 4.89.
A peak in fuel prices was recorded in September 2012, when the price of a liter of fuel at stations reached NIS 8.25 per liter.
In October, oil prices in our area were set at $ 78 a barrel, while now they are trading at around $ 83.
The energy crisis in China is making it an avid buyer of all fuels, and demand on its part is driving up world energy prices.
Europe, too, is trying to fill its stocks in anticipation of growing demand there in the coming winter.
This price increase is typical of the whole world these days, when in the UK the average price of a liter of gasoline is 1.43 pounds (6.17 shekels), in Germany the price of a liter of gasoline at stations jumped to 1.68 euros (6.20 shekels), and in the US the price of a liter of gasoline approaches only one dollar ( NIS 3.16).
Meanwhile, retail chains have reported a public outcry over the disposable tools, whose prices are also expected to rise at midnight.
"People buy like crazy, literally in quantities of a factory," a resident of Lod told "Israel Today" who came to one of the branches of the "Osher Ad" chain in the city.
