Following on from my Stubborn Mule post on the Aussie dollar and Petrol Prices, a comment was made suggesting that profiteering rather than currency movements were behind high petrol prices. These charts suggest otherwise. The dashed lines indicate the point at which Brent Crude oil prices first hit $99/bbl (back in February 2008).
