The signs of the cost of the fuel in Israel is on the panel of the fuel pumps of the gas stations themselfs.
Right is: Diesel, left is: Octane 98 unleaded gasoline and the middle is: Octane 95 unleaded gasoline.
The costs are per 1 liter.
As you can see: we fueled ~45 liters of octane 95 unleaded gasoline in our Skoda Fabia mini car and paid almost 300 NIS.
All of the direct segement controling LCD panels are backlighted in the evening by regular halophosphors 765 T8 tubes of 36w or 18w.

Now you have your own frozen gas price in this picture
Fueling the vehicle ourself have slightly lower cost then fueling with one of the people of the station.
Gas taxes here (Europe and close around) are really huge, i think it is, indeed, about 70% of the sales cost and the EU "government" still want to rise them... And what is even more annoying, if you want to use some recycled material as vehicle fuel (e.g. used vegetable oil could be technically used after a bit of quite simple processing in older diesel engines), you have to pay the same tax from it as from normal diesel fuel, regardless you actually reduce the overall environmental impact (claimed by EU representatives as their top priority)
