gas poll
When you get gas, do you turn the car off? I have always done this, and thought that is what you're supposed to do, but DH never turns off the car. I've noticed that a lot of people don't. Isn't there some danger to that, or am I making things up?
Re: gas poll
I always turn off the car, so does DH.
I always assumed if I kept the car running it could cause an explosion or something because the spark plugs were still sparking the gas in order for the engine to run.

You really think I would yell at some stranger for not turning off their car? If someone is smoking or filling up the car with engine on and using the same gas pump as me, I will ask them to quit smoking or turn the car off. I am pretty classy gal... I don't yell at people.
I don't think there's anything wrong with politely asking someone who's using the same pump as you to put their cigarette out or turning their engine off while pumping their gas. I'm guessing people would give more attitude for having to stop smoking rather than turning their engine off anyway.
I got reamed for talking on my cell phone once. It was a conversation where my friend was having a crisis and there was no way I could get her off the phone. I've never done it since.
I do turn my car off.
My first car was a '74 Impala. I don't even want to guess what the gas mileage was on that sucker. The good news: I could fit more people in there than most mini vans. :-)
I dare someone to ask me to do anything at a gas pump - including shutting off my car in icy depths of winter. Not happening. Gas fumes just dont explode if you can smell they are there - there has to be a perfect level of vapors/air that makes it flammable. Google UEL and LEL of gasoline.
Omg, and if they asked me to stop talking on my phone? Holy crapp, I'd give them the dirtiest look, and continue talking.
Do I really think that you would yell at some stranger? Based off your "very angry" response...yes. I don't know you from Adam and the first thing that I read from you is this.
I'm glad that you don't yell at random people. The smoking thing is a no brainer, but if you ask me to turn my car off while I'm pumping gas because you are scared that it is going to blow up....well you will kind of seem like a crazy.beoch at that point and not a classy gal.
Oh and for the record....leaving my car running while I pump gas isn't something that I do on a regular basis, but if it is 30 below you can bet that my car isn't getting shut off.
How is asking someone to abide by the posted rules classless thins to do? For the record I think you seem like the crazy one... taking a person's (who you don't know) response and blowing way out of proportion.
So, I take it that I have successfully riled you up?
Nope... it takes more than that
