I’m sure that this will mean that instead of fuel prices being inflated on the Friday Morning before a long weekend, they will be inflated on the Thursday Morning before a long weekend.
This will mean that that those people who fill up on Payday will be paying the inflated price, even if they are organised and plan ahead.
Everyone gets paid on different days. Those filing up on pay day may or may not have already had to pay the inflated price depends on the day they get paid.
You are right, but the greater majority of people who are sensitive to fluctuating petrol prices are either PAYE employees and get paid on Wednesday or Thursday or living off government payments, which are also paid on Thursdays.
People who are Salaried are more likely to have a company car or company fuel card, which means that they are not affected by fuel price fluctuations.
@Baku@Salvo It also means consumers have to rely on checking an app ahead of time, so it’s simply another piece of admin that people will have to manage on top of everything else. Lovely!

Am I the only one who just fills up whenever the tank is almost empty instead of on some kind of set schedule?
Nah I’m the same. I cbf minmaxing an hour of my time to save $5 at the pump.
