yes it's been a while since we have a good m.net thread. This one is about not going to gas stations who try to sell products other than gas.

******* ------, everyone knows that **** wont "explode", it could possibly cause a fire yes- but only if you are THAT much of a flamer.
"you could always get back in your car (if the gas pump nozzle works on its own) and close the door so you don't hear it."
This is how you get static discharges that can cause an explosion at the gas pump. Note that it's a myth that cell phones case these explosions - it's usually getting back into the car (particularly if it has cloth seats) and not grounding yourself before you touch the nozzle. If you ground yourself you will probably be ok, but it's better to avoid getting back into the car at all.

so you think a spark from static electricity is some different form of spark than in your spark plugs i guess? maybe weaker, but it's also not compressed air/fuel either.

I can't believe there's even people like that in the world. They must be the snobbiest mother ******* ever. Its not like your spending the day at the pump, or filling up a 50gal tank. Its a miata, by the time you know it your fueled up and ready to go. 
I doubt many of these guys go out to social functions like bars, parties, **** even restaurants can be loud sometimes!
I'm sorry, but if you need gas and see TVs so you look for another....I hope you run out of gas and have to walk miles. Then maybe your tight *** might stop at the TV gas station next time! 
Vash-

Must be nice to not have bigger things to worry about in life.

And I didn't blow up.
Or did I?
PS, there were no TVs at this gas station. Perhaps that's the difference

it's all about vapor. if it's a hot day and the fuel is vaporizing easily, you could theoretically get an explosion but you dont really see it happen now do you.
