Default Can trigger the "Check Engine" light...
...unless you like seeing the "Check Engine" light come on, turn the car off when you refuel.

Do you want to commit suicide and homicide of all gas station attendants? If so, leave it on!

Default There's really only 2 reasons to turn off your car. 1. Your check engine
light may come on. 2. In case of a fire or a spark, it could detonate a lot of stuff to put it frankly. Otherwise, where I work, most fuel their vehicles without turning them off. It's primarily a safety precaution.
