Portugal is among the European Union countries with the most expensive fuels, occupying top positions in both gasoline and diesel. This prominent position in the European price ranking is not due solely to the tax burden on fuels.
Even when the tax component is removed from the final fuel price, Portugal continues to appear among the countries with the highest prices in the European table. This indicates that there are factors beyond taxation that contribute to the high cost of fuels in the country.
The European comparative analysis shows that Portugal's position at the top of prices is not fully explained by the fiscal component, suggesting the existence of other variables that influence the cost of fuels charged to consumers.
