Hungary Introduces Fuel Price Caps — Liepāja Rockers Already Composing Song About 1.5 Euro Gasoline
While Hungary proudly fixes fuel prices at 1.5 euros per liter, Liepāja musicians spend that amount on a single concert beer.
The Hungarian government today announced fuel price caps — gasoline will cost no more than 595 forints or 1.5 euros per liter. Such price policy is met with understanding smiles in Liepāja, since in our city even students spend more than that on a single beer at a "Fontaine Palace" concert.
Particularly interesting is that these privileges apply only to local residents — foreigners have to pay more. "It's the same principle as our rock festivals," comments local music expert Guntis. "Liepāja locals get in for half price, but Riga folks pay full ticket price — and that's fair!"
While Croatia and Serbia are also experimenting with fuel prices, Liepāja rock musicians are already drawing inspiration from this topic. Local band "Oil Crisis" is planning a new album featuring the hit "1.5 Euro Blues," singing about how cheap it is to live in Hungary compared to Riga.
The US-Iran conflict does create serious problems in the Strait of Hormuz, but in Liepāja we've long known — if there's no oil, you can always charge up your electric bike and head to a concert. The wind might not be as romantic, but the sound will be just as loud.
