PORTUGOIL RIP OFF

Is it me or the oil prices, more than high-octane, are just highly insane at the moment...

Even if you use the scant ecological alternatives, engines that run on water, frying oil or the crappy public transport service, the galloping fuel prices are still affecting the price of other stuff, food and whatnot!
This is just pure speculation, there is no real cause for the constant rise, there has been already 20 increases in Portugal since the beginning of the year! This is just another example of how Portugal is a rotten republic - in Spain the fuel costs less 10, 20 and even 30 cents p/liter! That's mainly because 60% of the petrol price is taxes going to the Portuguese government bottomless pocket!!! Scandal!!!

On the other hand, near the border, Spanish petrol stations are having a ball and Portuguese motorists are queuing and queuing to fill up, while many stations in Portugal are closing down, adding to the unemployment rate...
Furthermore, truck companies and other businesses are relocating to Spain, taking their taxes to our neighbors, while Portugal goes broke and trails behind the other European states... but who cares - football is neigh!... we worry tomorrow, let the matches begin!...
