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?

Running your engine while pumping gas increases the risk of fire because your engine produces not only heat, but also static electricity while running. Objectively the risk is quite low, but it’s definitely much safer to turn the engine off.
