I'm imagining a news report about a gas station exploding because a guy was smoking while filling a tank. See, I have to imagine it because it never happened.

They can ignite, why can't a cigarette be the ignitor?

Ferrari burns

Man burns from static electricty.

He was referring to the underground tanks. It's not impossible that they ignite, but it's highly unlikely.

Just as it's highly unlikely that static electricity ignites gas fumes. It is possible and does happen from time to time, but there's something like a 3% range of ideal conditions for it to happen, which is why the whole cell phones lighting gas on fire is BS.
