Depends on who the owner of the station is. If it was run by the Feds, hell yes I'd fill up. And come back with 55 gallon drums and fill those, too. They steal enough from me that I'm perfectly willing to capitalize on their mistakes.

If it was owned by a real human, if I noticed the difference, well, it would depend on how bad I needed gas. I wouldn't run out just to save the owner money on a mistake they made. But if I lived in town, I'd probably go back to point out to them that they needed to change their pump programming. I figure that's only fair, as I've made gas stations give me money when the pump didn't match the sign. (In their favor.)
