There's data out there somewhere about how 'price inelastic' petrol is, can't remember where.

The summary is that petrol use for a lot of people is not negotiable. They need to drive to work. Worse, most of these people live in areas with terrible public transport, like Western Sydney. The thinking goes that taxing petrol is hence 'regressive' in that it hits those least able to pay it the hardest.

Read a piece somewhere that the way to fix this was to can the excise and apply the carbon tax. Problem is that would lead to a 30% decrease in the cost of petrol, which some consider a bad look.
