    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.

      Am I the only one who just fills up whenever the tank is almost empty instead of on some kind of set schedule?

      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.
