They put the original amount through and don't actually charge the full amount including tip for a few days, throwing you off.
So where's your answer to this, Mr Perfect?

Some gas stations put an $80 pre-auth lock on your funds!!!
Those will fuck you royally if your balance is low. Til this day, I always go inside and pay with my credit card at gas stations so they just run the exact amount I want to put in. If you do it at the pump it runs a pre-authorization for a large amount in case you fill up.
...and the pre auth amount will always differ station to station.
