Gas prices in Israel are expected to increase by week�s end, by 13 agorot a liter. That means 95 octane gasoline at the self-service pumps will increase from 7.50 NIS /liter to 7.63 NIS /liter � the equivalent of a whopping $8.72/US gallon.
The increase is attributed to the increase in the cost of a barrel of crude oil on the international market and the slight increase in the shekel.
The final word on the extent of the increase will be determined towards week�s end.

Was 7.32 all over Yerushalayim this week.
This is similar to gasoline prices in Europe.
“Whopping”?
Pretty normal, average price, as Charlie Hall says.
Wonder about diesel prices there. I drive diesel, as more than half of the UK does. I know Americans are barely aware of the existence of diesel cars. No idea how many there are in Israel – probably less than UK.
