I do every now-and-then if I know I'm only going to pump a couple gallons of fuel. No...the car won't blow up. There is no evidence proving it to be more dangerous to full up while the car is running vs. shut off.

The only annoyance is the occasional whiney conehead in the Prius next to you. I just ignore them.

That was funny, I am sorry but it was. In NJ you are not allowed to pump your own gas maybe that is why.

It's stories like these when I get upset with all the safety liability on the cars. Perfect examples of natural selection. The gene pool is getting more tainted by the minute

And it's people like you over the years who have forced lawyers into designing everything from cars to children's toys.

I think you're yelling at the wrong guy - I would guess that awesomez would agree with you that if you want to blow yourself up, go for it... But please don't take any innocent bystanders with you.

Ummm I don't know if you can read but that's what I was stating that I was upset about. You've probably never heard of natural selection so that's what confused you? Look it up.
