ever watched someone extinguish a cigarette in gasoline? it's explosive, but in a narrow band of conditions.

  You've been watching too many movies. MythBusters tested this. A pool of gasoline will extinguish a cigarette dropped in it every time.

    I think you and the comment you replied to are agreeing.

    I was not clear - I agree with you. I was saying that gasoline might be explosive, but it is not likely to happen. it is remarkably tolerant of heat/spark at STP conditions.
