Gasoline Falls to NIS 7.77: What 40, 50 or 60 Liters Cost Now
The maximum self‑service price of 95‑octane gasoline fell on 5 October 2026 to NIS 7.77 per liter, including VAT. That is 50 agorot below the NIS 8.27 price that took effect at the start of the month. The reduction comes from a further cut in excise tax and returns almost all the latest increase to drivers.
This is another update within the same month: the price announced at the beginning of October is no longer the current maximum. According to the Energy Ministry update and reports on the reduction order, the change took effect at midnight between 4 and 5 October. The price applies to self‑service 95‑octane gasoline, not all fuels or every service arrangement at stations.
Savings depend on the liters actually purchased
Calculated at the maximum prices, the difference is half a shekel for every liter bought. Here is what three common fill‑up quantities cost:
| Quantity | At the previous price of NIS 8.27 | At the new price of NIS 7.77 | Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| 40 liters | NIS 330.80 | NIS 310.80 | NIS 20 |
| 50 liters | NIS 413.50 | NIS 388.50 | NIS 25 |
| 60 liters | NIS 496.20 | NIS 466.20 | NIS 30 |
These calculations concern the quantity purchased, not the car's listed tank capacity. If fuel remained and only 30 liters were added, the difference from the previous price is NIS 15. At a station selling below the maximum, compare the prices actually charged.
A maximum price is not a uniform price
NIS 7.77 is the published cap for self‑service 95‑octane gasoline, including VAT. A station may charge less. Before refueling, check the price on the pump and the service type selected, rather than relying on a general entrance sign.
The full‑service surcharge remains 26 agorot per liter, according to the update detailed by Autocom. Added to the new cap, that means NIS 8.03 per liter for full service. On a 50‑liter purchase, the service surcharge alone totals NIS 13. Prices in these calculations include VAT and are not Eilat prices.
The reduction comes from tax, and the next price is not yet set
According to Zman Yisrael and Bizportal, the reduction was made through an order cutting excise. The state is therefore reducing the tax component of the consumer price; this does not itself demonstrate a corresponding fall in gasoline costs.
Bizportal reported that the benefit was set to last until the end of October. November's price will depend both on decisions about extending the reduction and on the data used to calculate gasoline prices. There is therefore no basis yet to promise it will remain NIS 7.77 or specify how much it will change.
For the family fuel budget, calculate relief using the quantity purchased while the new price applies: every 100 liters at the new maximum cost NIS 50 less than the same quantity at the previous cap. This is a saving compared with the beginning‑of‑October price, not a commitment to a fixed price for the rest of the year.
