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.
