re: Do you turn off your vehicle when filling up?

So I have heard both sides, then I did some back of the napkin math.
222 million drivers in the USA, say 10% of them fill up every day so 22 million fill ups. Say only 10% of them leave their car running, so that means 2.2 million people do it a day. ~800 million fill ups a year with vehicle running, and can’t find a single news article on leaving a vehicle running lead to a gas station explosion. I’m going to start being a crazy person and never turning off the vehicle.

Your search engine skills are as crap as your math skills, I found three stories on the first page of a Google search that all blamed an issue from the engine compartment or a catalytic converter igniting gas fumes.
