In Israel the costs of the fuel in the gas station aren't displayed by advertisement signs (Which are views only the company name), but by the control panels of the fuel pumps themselves (Which are manufactured or imported by the fuel companies themselves). Their displays are 7 segments LCD panels and are backlighted by regular 765 color halophosphors fluorescent lamps with magnetic choke ballasts and glow starters.
Form109, the backlit LCDs are all over the gas pumps...all of them in the USA.....That is what DOR123 is speaking of....they don't have a advertizing price....to find out the price in Israel...you had to GO to the GAS PUMP...and for almost all of the gas pumps I have been to has back lit LCDs....
@joe cool i dont think ive don't think ive never seen a Neon one,sounds very cool though.
@jace i figured out what he was talking about after he commented.
@ Niall i assume the roller style has rotating numbers like an analog odometer?...never seen one,but yes the LED's are abit hard to see in the sun,but they really stand out at night,the signs im used to are fluorescent backlit with the numbers that appear to stick on and need to be changed manually.
I found that several gas stations in Israel, indeed uses signs similar to this to display the cost of the fuel in them in a similar way (LED displays).
I notice that the unleaded gasoline and the diesel oil in this station have almost the same price.
In Israel, the diesel is WAY more expensive to personal vehicle then the gasoline, because of taxing in order to deter people from using personal vehicles with a diesel engine which are more louder and more polluting (I hope that this action will reduces the popularity of fake off road vehicles (SUVs, the "fake" is because while they have 4 wheel driving, their off road abilities are limited, and they are in use on roads only, like cars) in Isarel, since most of them, have a diesel engine.
Only commercial vehicles (Taxies, buses, vans, pickups (Not privates)) pays less on diesel then gasoline.

The signs themselves here either use LEDs like in the pic, something similar to a flip disc, or a roll sign to display the gas price.
