So it definitely works intra-europe? It looks for optimal benefit you want a 30 EURO fare plus taxes and fees which will be about 125 EURO all in? Funny, that's about exactly the fare I was planning to book soon...

This all boils down to the fraudulent use of fuel surcharges -- I really don't think that's too strong a word. The fare I want to book is a 38 EURO fare with 72 EURO "surcharge"! Ie, nearly two thirds of their charge is hidden in a fake tax that they then refuse to honour discounts on even though it's really just part of their fee for the product.
