New Petrol Prices:

Before you head to the gas station, let’s take a quick peek at the new numbers, so you’re not startled at the sight of the total on the pump:

• Gasoline 95: Now EGP 17, up from EGP 15
• Gasoline 92: Now EGP 15.25, up from EGP 13.75
• Gasoline 80: Now EGP 13.75, up from EGP 12.25
• Diesel: Now EGP 13.5, up from EGP 11.5

So, next time you’re at the gas station, perhaps take a slow, deep breath before you peek at the price—your heart might thank you! And remember, amidst the sighs and the wallet woes, a little humor can go a long way to ease the sting of rising petrol prices.
