This is why you keep your remote key in your pocket instead of your purse.
A lot of cars can still function without the remote key in the vehicle if it's already cranked.
Mine will stay on, but if you try to change gear out of park, it says frick off and shuts off.

Given that a duty life of the engine start up components is like 70,000+ starts I think I’ll be good

I almost never turn my car off when fueling.
It has never been a problem.

So you actually go and get back in your vehicle while the gas is pumping?

Not a good idea at all.

I’ve actually never met a real man that drives a vehicle that doesn’t need the key in it to run.
You drive a secretary’s car. Relax.

That is a lot. I wonder how much longer I can go on my 22 year old Lexus before I have to replace the starter.

I have always turned my engine off while refueling, but after a friend was badly burned at a gas pump, I have had that practice reenforced in my mind.

Not if I'm rolling in the 05 Rubicon.
Just so that I can hear my outlaw country blasting over the other idiots blasting their RAP crap.

Stop it
Your car will fail from a multitude of other issues before any issues arise from starting and stopping it
