Regular Gasoline: $10,60 per gallon/ $2,80 per litre
Eurodiesel: $10,12 per gallon (Very Low Sulphur Diesel)/ $2,67 per litre.
High-Octane 97 Gasoline: $10,82 dollars per gallon.

A large SUV would fill up for a $292.56. The exchange rate I used is: $1=TL 1.24.

So, stop complaining please

........I agree that fuel prices in Egypt were too low and they were heavily subsidized by the goverment, however a sudden overnight increase of 50% is way too much and really shakes and shocks the people and the economy in general. Such an increase should be gradual and take place over a much longer period of time.
