What is this presumptive statement of “knowing ‘plenty of people,’” referring to? I’ve never seen anyone leave their car running while refueling. It’s seen as common sense out here to turn off your engine for safety reasons, whether that be the whole truth or not, for the reason to turn the engine off. How many people are “plenty?”

What are the statistics for how many people refuel with their engines running vs. how many refuel with their engines off? I’m guessing the latter would be the vast majority, and the former would likely be so minute, that it’s not surprising that there haven’t been any National stories of any incidents.
