Israel’s Energy Ministry announced that fuel prices will fall to the lowest price in over a decade, beginning Tuesday at midnight.

According to the Energy Ministry’s updated fuel prices for the month of April, the price per liter of 95 octane gasoline will drop by NIS 1.03 (¢ 0.29), bringing the total cost to NIS 4.89 ($1.37), a 17.4-percent decline since March.

Fuel prices in Eilat will also fall next month to NIS 4.18 ($1.17) per liter.

The plummeting prices can be attributed to travel restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic, and Russian-Saudi trade war over global production.
