The first time crude oil prices hit $99 was earlier this year. At that time, not only was the Aussie dollar well above 85c, but the price of petrol in Sydney was closer to $1.40/L than $1.20/L. I've <a href="http://smc2911.tumblr.com/post/50173275/oil-prices" rel="nofollow">posted some charts</a> to illustrate the point. @Adelaide: I think that your memory must be playing tricks on you.

I do remember when the price of oil per barrel was around the $99 mark, the Australian dollar was around the 85c mark and the price at the bowser was indeed below $1.20 per L. The non price shift is pure profitiering. Plain and simple. I believe that oil companies will hire economists to place that element of doubt into the Austraiian consumers minds and make us beleive that the prive is justifyable. But its not only the oil company's fault. The government would have some part in it as they would be receiving a fair kitty from the excise thats on the price of petrol.
