Just notice it seems like everyone turns it off. I used to, but got tired of it being cold or hot and having to wait for the thing to finish filling up.

I can't see how there is any danger with the car running. I mean your engine runs when it draws from the gas tank anyway...

Seems like it'd be better to leave it running so if a fire breaks out you can leave, or a shootout occurs...

Oh yeah great, you can drive 10 metres before blowing up inside your car. :roll:

Especially if the fire breaks out from leaving the car on. The ironing would be delicious.

I never shut the car off. Only heavily concentrated gasoline vapors are combustible. For example, if you throw a match or a cigarette in a container of gas, it will just go out.

yes the resulting explosion will make the match go out..
 
when i lived in North Dakota, Nobody ever turned off their car during the dead of winter, except for when they parked it in the garage. even when you go to the shopping center or mall or grocery store the vast majority of cars in the parking lot are running with nobody in them.

Yes its a theives buffett, but suprisigly car thefts are very low.

Nope. It won't explode. Did you read where I said I've done this? Liquid (not vapor) gasoline put the match/cigarette out.
