What's the up side for leaving it on? Because I think we all know what the downside is...

I usually don't. I have yet to blow up.

I keep the engine running in case I want to use the lighter to spark up a cigarette.

I can't find one situation where leaving the car on directly caused an explosion. Am I wrong?

If you have an older car/truck, it can make your check engine light come on. Only I can think of.

Assuming it's the push in lighter you're fine. You can throw a lit cig in some gas and all it will do is go out..

I witnessed a pump overflow at the gas station last Sunday. Is it bad that the first thing I thought of was what would happen if I lit a match and tossed it over there?

The key is to strap on your old baseball cleats and moonwalk between the pump and your truck.

I turn it off, unless I have a bad battery.

Who gets back in their car when pumping gas, other than women?

There's good reasons, although they are extremely rare.

Air conditioning/heater stays on in extreme weather months.

Nothing is going to happen with modern cars. Nothing.
FWIW, I do it when its super hot or super cold outside. When its 0 degrees and ice covering your car, you'd want the heat to remain on too.

I think that sweater is to blame.
