Most cars have a metal filler neck, even with a plastic gas tank and this allows the spark to ground. Similarly the fuel nozzles at gas stations are metal and I'd guess are grounded through the braiding in the hose.

I'm not making this up. It actually happened to my friend Ryan.

And I fueled his kids go-karts all the next year for him.
