History made!

The price of gas (95 Octane) in Israel is set by the government (the maximum price - gas stations can charge less if they so desire) and includes a heavy "blu tax". The price is adjusted the first of every month as per the fluctuations of the global oil markets and whatever else affects the price of gasoline.

History was just made as the price of gasoline went up to the price of 8.25nis per liter as of today, September 1 2026. 8.25nis per liter, is, at least according tot he reports I have seen, the highest ever price of gas in the history of Israel!

For those not familiar, I asked Google's Gemini to do all the conversions of liters and shekels to gallons and dollars and the price of 8.25nis per liter is equivalent to roughly $10.43 per gallon at current conversion rates.

It is always fun being part of Israel making history!
