Because of 'Harry's roar': The price of fuel will jump tomorrow (Tuesday) at midnight by 1.03 shekels per liter.
The increase in price is mainly due to an increase of approximately 49% in the price of gasoline in the Mediterranean basin, against the backdrop of the increase in the price of oil worldwide following the war.

In addition, there was an increase of approximately 2% in the fuel exchange rate.
The maximum price per liter of unleaded 95 octane gasoline for the consumer at a self-service station (including VAT) will not exceed 8.05 shekels per liter, an increase of 1.03 shekels from the previous update. A surcharge for full service will be 25 agorats per liter (including VAT), unchanged from the previous update.
The maximum price per liter of unleaded 95 octane gasoline for the consumer at a self-service station in Eilat (excluding VAT) will not exceed 6.82 shekels per liter, an increase of 87 agorot from the previous update. A surcharge for full service will be 21 agorot (excluding VAT), unchanged from the previous update.
The announcement of the significant increase in fuel prices was delayed until this evening, due to discussions that took place during the day about whether to reduce the fuel tax by half a shekel. The Prime Minister's and Finance Ministry's offices finally decided to wait at least another month and see where the price per barrel of oil would go, which could drop significantly when the war with Iran ends and the Straits of Hormuz are opened by agreement.
