I absolutely refuse to put gas in my car. Thank God for New Jersey. Gasoline is dangerous and I have no idea why we should let people pump their own. I can't imagine how many people smoke while pumping their own gas outside of lovely New Jersey...
- womod 3y agoGasoline is absolutely not that dangerous, at least relative to the risk involved every time one drives a car. For igniting gasoline fumes, a spark is almost always necessary. Realistically speaking, a lit cigarette has a better chance of setting a nearby trash can on fire than igniting the gasoline fumes. If a person were to spark a lighter to light a cigarette that'd be a different story. https://www.pennlive.com/midstate/2010/03/gas-pump_fire_that_killed_cumb.html https://www.pennlive.com/midstate/2010/03/gas-pump_fire_that... https://content.nfpa.org/-/media/Project/Storefront/Catalog/Files/Research/NFPA-Research/Building-and-life-safety/osservicestationtables.pdf https://content.nfpa.org/-/media/Project/Storefront/Catalog/...
