This is why I turn off my car and put the key in my pocket to get fuel. My wife leaves it running even though I told her I fear for her safety

No because I'm not an idiot that smokes cigarettes at a gas pump and I don't like wasting time turning the engine off and back on.
How long does it take you to turn a key?

Wife is different story. I forbid her from getting fuel by herself except in exceptional cases. I keep her car filled up. When she goes on road trips alone, we have guidelines about when and where to stop.
The fuel itself is the least dangerous thing at gas stations.

I always leave mine running with the Ole Lady in the truck.
Posted on 1/9/25 at 9:23 am to cubsfan5150
Only when at Costco and the attendant asks me to, otherwise never in close 22yrs of driving
Eta: I also leave my truck running if I run inside somewhere for 10min or less. Ford with keypad to lock it up while I’m gone.

What the hell do you drive?

Start/stop cycles are a major source of engine wear. Depending on the use it could be the primary driver of engine life.
Not that it matters for a passenger car that's going to rust away before the engine wears out, BUT it is actually a significant wear factor.

Same.
First, snd foremost, it is a safety issue.
Second, it's just what men do.
