An Israeli man fills his tank at a gas station in Jerusalem. Israel has some of the highest prices in the world for gasoline.

Gas prices are set to rise again this week, with a nine agurot increase per liter going into effect at midnight on Election Day night, Energy Minister Karine Elharrar announced Sunday.

The increase will bring the price of a liter of 95 octane gasoline to NIS 6.46, with full service gasoline costing another 21 agurot.

Prices will be lower in Eilat, where sales tax is not imposed: 95 octane will cost NIS 5.52 per liter for self-service, and will cost another 18 agurot per liter for those who prefer full service.

The November price hike is the fifth time prices have risen on the resource so far this year; there were also two reductions in the price this summer.
