I have never turned my vehicle off while pumping gas in my life and have yet to have an issue. Especially coming from a Northern state where it gets pretty cold you see a lot of people doing the same thing. What is the potential risk or is it all just a myth?

There’s two reasons to not do this… one is because you need proper pressure which you don’t achieve with the gas cap off… two is because in the invent of a loose wire or collection of random electrons you will create a static spark if you’re engine is off this one time spark should not do anything… however in the event that you’re car is on it will create constant sparks likely causing a fire or massive explosion.
