If that wasn't the case, they might as well instruct people to punch in 5 randon digits.
I just got back from a small roadtrip and one thing a guy in Spokane told me, which was later printed instructions on a gas pump in Kalispell:

Take the three digits from your postal code, and then add two zeros on the end.

For example, if your PC is T1Y 6T7, enter 16700 as your zip code.

I think the attendant in Kalispell got tired of questions from Canadians.
