The price for foreigners is three times that of the national price - about USD1.50 (for 85 Octane at best). On my budget, travelling for a couple of years and using gas at approx 17km/l - yes, it makes a difference.
And furthermore, I hate dishonesty and being ripped off. It's not going break my bank to pay $1.50/L and I'm happy to pay if it's legit, but not if the 200% difference is going into the back pocket of the pump attendent. It's a matter of principle, just like not caving into a cop fishing for a back-hander.
