Did you know that gas prices in Israel vary in many different ways?

Firstly prices vary from place to place with more remote gas stations being less expensive generally than those in cities.

Attendants often ask customers if they want their oil and water checked. This should only be done if absolutely necessary as products such as oil and windscreen wash tend to be much more expensive at roadside locations.

One advantage in Israel is that gas prices only change once a month as opposed to the USA/UK etc. So customers do have an idea of what they are looking at for that month.

Finally, there is the option of self service (Shirut Atzmee) or Attendant service (known as Shirut Ma-le). Attendant service is roughly 15ag more expensive per Ltr than self service. Please note that for self service only credit card is accepted.

*Special Tip for BS/RBS Residents*
