I've always made sure to touch the body of the car before gassing up, ever since seeing a science documentary about 5 years ago. This part is no myth. Gas fumes + Discharging close to the fuel door = good chance of starting a fire.

Sad part is, they only put a small warning (more like fineprint) on the pumps about this risk...I've seen a lot of people going back in their cars and wait until they finish
