Yes, they'd also like to make you think that cell phones will cause and
explosion while filling your tank. I'm thinking since a cell phone is a
duplex transceiver there is no antenna switching, no relays to arc so what
would cause an explosion?

The Mythbusters actually tried to get a cell phone to cause an explosion,
even putting it inside a container of fuel and air the same ratio as in an
engine. No dice. In fact, there has never been an explosion that can be
verified as having been caused by a cell phone.

Yet you still see cell phone warnings at some fuel pumps, the vendors say
because they are concerned about liability. But if someone beats you up
because they believe those warnings, can you sue the gas company?
