To be fair, if someone you've never met approaches you when you're filling up and strikes up a conversation with positive comments about the car, I tend to take them at face value. Moreover, I never ask anyone what they think as I don't really care and as you say if you put them on the spot, what do you expect them to say? "Your car looks old and ****************!" Hardly!
But in certain contexts, it's perfectly reasonable to take positive, unsolicited comments at face value.
