The price of gasoline is based on the average quotes of CIF La Vera trade prices for fuels in the Mediterranean basin, which are then converted from dollars into shekels. The CIF La Vera trade prices for oil accounts for 38% of the retail price of gasoline in Israel; the excise accounts for 39%, VAT accounts for 14%, and the fuel companies’ marketing margin accounts for 8%. The Finance Ministry has not yet extended the directive. On July 31, it cut the excise on gasoline by NIS 0.31 per liter, under pressure from Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to avoid a NIS 0.31 per liter price hike in gasoline for August caused by higher oil prices. On August 31, the excise was raised NIS 0.22 per liter.
