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?

Because you can start a fire.
How could you start a fire? When you grab the pump and start filling up the tank, gas vapors are emitted. Running cars can produce a lot of heat and electricity which can ignite the fumes and cause a massive fire.
