The result? Nothing, no explosions or fires have been started under experimental conditions.<\/p>\n<p>That doesn\u2019t mean you should start chatting away while pumping gas, though. Just because the risk hasn\u2019t been recreated doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s not there. If it\u2019s between two minutes without your cell phone or a gas fire, you should probably just leave your cell in the car.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to automotive myths, this one does stand up (kind of).
