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?

Even the static electricity of opening and closing your door can start a fire with the gas vapors emitted from pumping.
I work in a company that has a chain of gas stations and get copied on emails when fires occur at the pumps. It happens more than you think.
Bottom line… low risk, but there is a risk.
