I think it depends a little on how you define "do care". I think people are concerned that prices will rise to an extent they will care about, but that they are still willing to pay, i.e. demand is not very elastic. E.g. if your tank is empty, you're willing to pay an exorbitant price, but you certainly won't be happy about it. So, I think it depends a little on the actual implementation. If this really is about giving people who are very price sensitive a discount I don't think people will mind a lot, but if these algorithms learn to gouge people who are in a predicament, they won't be happy.

If you're price sensitive then you don't wait until your tank is near empty and fill up when the price may be high. You try and plan ahead a little and fill when prices are at a lower point than average. Me? When I hit a quarter tank I go fill up. It's a fuel hungry sports sedan that runs on premium, I resigned myself to the fuel expenses before I even purchased the car. I honestly don't even look at the prices because it's just really not worth the time to worry about for me.
