Yeah I wouldn't pay for that shit lol even if it's like 1 dollar, the fact that they think they're right and that the customer is wrong would piss me off. Like you said, it's the principle not the money.

What the balls? At all full service stations you're supposed to get a cleaned windshield as well as tire pressure and oil level checks! You got ripped off more than you know.

But then you go on their website to look for customer support, ponders about the ethical nature of your ecounter, and blogs about your incident.
Sounds like the typical nerd afraid to stand up for himself (in person). I would have refused to pay the spilled amount by either taking it up with someone higher up or just leaving - it's completely the gas station's fault. There was nobody higher up. Basically I'm a scared nerd if I don't refuse to pay and run? Doesn't even matter since I prepaid with credit card...
Oh, if you prepaid with credit card you should edit that into OP. That changes the situation entirely - much more time/effort to get your money back.

Update: finally heard back from Exxon-Mobil.... they say whether or not the customer pays for spilled gas is up to the discretion of the individual gas station.

Back when I was about 16 years old I worked at one of these full service stations. Sorry buddy but you got played. The reason he told you it was the cars fault is because if those attendants come up short at all they have to pay the difference out of their own pocket. Basically he didn't want to pay for the mistake he made so he had you pay for it for him. Keep the reciept go back and complain to the manager. You MAY get a refund maybe not though:/ sorry bro
