What is the likelyhood of something going bang?
I saw a Mythbusters on this and they tried so hard with ringing phones to make it go bang but just couldn't do it.

A) if your in the car (windows up, doors sealed) its highly unlikely any spark inside would ignite anything outside

B) any electronic device functioning improperly could cause a spark

C) most bowser fires are caused from static WHILST filling up

so when you get out, leave the phone in the car, touch the side of the car to earth yourself, then grab the pump handle and youll be fine
