The only reason you see those advisory stickers is because lawyers sat down and said "hey, if we tell them they cant use cell phones they may use something else that has an electrical charge so lets reccomend no electrical devices including the cars be on while filling up." They were covering their A$$E$ its even been scientifically proven that a cell phone cannot blow you up while filling up! This whole hoopla about your going to kill yourself and innocent others is just that HOOPLA it dont mean $hit. Granted smoking is a definite NO NO! I dont smoke so I am fine. If your gonna make comments like this at least back it up! Back on to topic...

Again, you're yelling at the wrong guy. Feel free to risk splashing gas on a hot running exhaust if you wish - a friend of mine calls this "evolution in action". But please make sure your next of kin know that you do not want them to sue if something bad happens.
Oh, and BTW, those " Stop Engine/No Smoking" signs have been up in gas stations for many, many years - long before cell phones were invented and long before lawyers got as litigious as they are today. But I'm sure there is no reason for those signs, it must just be "tradition", right?
