The Minister of Energy and Water, Joe Seddi, set the average price of a can of 95 octane gasoline during the month of October at 2,757,677 liras. Al-Sada's step comes to enable ministries and official departments to set the price of five liters as a daily transportation allowance for employees. On October 1, the government agreed to raise the transportation allowance to the equivalent of five liters of gasoline per day.
