Do you baw turn the engine off when pumping gas?

When I'm alone? Yes. I turn it off, take the keys out, and lock the door. It has nothing to do with blowing up and everything to do with not trusting people.

Other people in the vehicle? I leave it on.

Never have

I turn it off.

I think I look like the type of “white boy” who might be packing if they tried to steal my shite (they’re right) so I’ve never had any issues even stopping at certain gas stations late at night that many would pass by.

You have to a colossal pussy to not be able to sit in a previously air conditioned car for seven minutes. And if you're the a-hole that starts pumping gas, and wanders around inside the store for 20 minutes, you deserve a special kind of arse kicking.

Besides, depending on the car, it can cause the car to generate check engine codes if it's running and the gas cap isn't on.

The only people I see leaving their engine running while pumping gas are afraid it won't crank again.

That's a good idea

Any grown men who is concerned about their car getting stolen and scanning the parking lot while pumping gas is an undercover giant pansy.

If we worried about all of the bad things that could hurt us in life with such low probabilities of actually happening. none of us would ever leave the house and we'd walk around the living room in Hazmat suits and crash helmets.

Leave it running. Don’t you hear about all the cars blowing up on the news every night? Exactly

F1 and NASCAR aren’t too worried about it.

We had this thread a couple months ago.
