unless you pour a massive amount nothing too bad will happen. Gasoline itself is a very good solvent.

but if I'm you I will pour Fuel system cleaner into the tank for the next 5 tanks.

^^ I think that's totally unnecessary. If only the usual 6 ounces were filled in, then there is no need to do anything.

Car burns oil regardless probably didn't hurt anything, just keep going like nothing happened.

Your not an idiot, it's just a common mistake, but no harm done to the engine.
