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.
Yep! Isn't it great?!?
@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!
