my source for all internet rumors indicates no evidence found for cell phone and gas station fires.

That frying pan with the "dash" of petrol
is exactly like filling up your car! Amazing!! 
It seems to me that if you aim the microwave energy from the phone at the aluminum foil long enough, you might heat it up just enough to ignite the fuel that's coming in contact with it. Explain to me how this is like filling up your car?

Yup I saw that. They jsut couldn't get the explosion to happen. Another question tho, this might be a stupid one but why do we have to turn our cars off when filling up?
I have very often filled cars up while the engine is running.
Even F1 does it...
