Once the charge fully goes through it will be the correct amount. I just got gas the other day at a station I have never gotten gas before but it was about 10 miles from home. They held $101.00 for $34 in gas.
You're lucky it was just $1. Most stations around here will put either a $50 or $100 hold on your card until the charge goes through. It's obnoxious and the reason I always use a credit card and NOT a debit card at the pump.
They must have stopped the $1 hold thing in our area. I noticed it a lot a few years ago, but I've never seen it again the last two or three years, it pulls the entire charge as the time of purchase.
