The maximum price of government price controlled 95 octane gasoline at self-service pumps in Israel will rise on Tuesday night at midnight June 1, 2022 by NIS 0.66 to NIS 7.72 per liter, the Ministry of National Infrastructures, Energy and Water Resources has announced. The charge for receiving full-service at pumps from gas station attendants will remain NIS 0.21.
