They do down here in Florida.
But most gas stations also have a single pump at the edge of the property and all the sign says is," You're special, no rules for you" so that's the one I use.

 

Negative. In San Diego, I have better chance of seeing “Shut off your engine” and “have a brunch with us, we have a properly sourced avocado toast” 😄

 

Neither. The answer is neither A nor B.

The answer is C; they don’t care either way. Hah, however lots of people I know like the smell of gas. Which you’re going to get regardless if your engine is running or not.

 

My thoughts exactly.

 

I have a lot respect for people like you who stand by their principles.

 

This safety only exists in your mind. You are in fact making it easier for your vehicle to be stolen from you, thats just a fact. But, you're not going to listen to any of us anyway lol

 

I do when those principles make sense. There's standing by your principles, and then there's just being obstinant for no reason to your own detriment.

 

How am I in more danger when I'm sitting in my car as it refuels?? I have firearms. I'm not stupid, I lived in LA and know the mean streets.

You do plenty of things that don't make sense to me, but I don't tell you you're wrong or doing something detrimental.

 

I respect your opinion on this too. If OP is out of line, the forum adults would have taken this down already.

You are against it, so vote No.

 

Its not when you're sitting in it, its when you are occupied at the pump and not paying attention, its the perfect opportunity for somebody to jump in your car and drive away, it happens all the time. What frustrates me is that you refuse to accept that is a reality in the face of all the evidence presented that it is.

If I'm doing something that increases my risk I would appreciate people telling me that, like the people that showed me on MBWorld that topping my car off was detrimental, and I changed my behavior because of it. The closed-mindedness just irritates me. Not as if that should matter to you, I'm just explaining why my reaction is what it is.

Getting in and out of your car when refueling does create risk though because it increases the likelihood of a static discharge.

Not saying he is out of line, but we're discussing each other's viewpoints in a mature way. If you don't want to do that just vote and move on.

 

I looked at the Crime Grade information you posted earlier in this thread. When I look at the grade for my small suburb it's all dark green in the A to A+ range, a feel good.

However, look to the east and west of me and there are a lot of C and F areas that are a short (stolen?) vehicle drive into my town. So yeah, I shut the cars off when gassing up.

 

For those who served and deployed. Let’s be honest we “Hot Fuel” all the time.

 

suppose there are two LX 570s at the gas station. The one you’re driving, and you fuel it while it’s running, you on the other side of the vehicle at the pump because your LX has a passenger side tank door. . Across the gas station is another LX 570 that LX 570 is not running and the persons fuelling up on the other side of the truck just like you. Along comes some street thug in a white Mercedes S class this… street thug goes by the initials SW, out come some of SW’s minions named Smokey and Pumpkin… which LX570 is easier to steal?

 

LOL, gotta watch that guy!

 

Yep, and crime happens in green areas too!
