There was a mythbusters episode on Cell phones causing explosions at gas stations (not real likely), but they were reviewing the statistics and women cause fires 4 to 1 by getting back into the car while filling. When they get out of the car its common for them to have static build up and sometimes it ignites the gas. The worst thing you can do at that point is to pull the nozzle out this apparently causes more fuel to burn and the potential for an explosion is there.
I think the episode was in season 1, but I am not certain.
