Somethings speak for themselves... but let me put this into perspective here... 1 USD = 3.3 NIS... the sign says 1 liter of gas is 6.32 NIS... so that means a liter is $1.91... and it takes 3.78 liters to make a US gallon... so a gallon of gas is $7.24!! WoW... that makes ya' think twice before filling up... actually... we only bought 37 liters in Israel the whole trip... but that's enough... and since we're spoiled here in Egypt with gas that cost 96 cents a gallon gas... well... 7.24 was sticker shock. Once we were back into Egypt... the thirsty truck happily took 120 liters of petro.
