The purpose of my comment was to provide readers with more information on the subject. I wasn't telling people they should go ahead and use their mobiles at the petrol station, on the contrary I thought I had made it quite clear that my opinion was that it was better to be safe than sorry and turn off your mobile.
btw, I mentioned static electricity because it is believed that is normally the cause of an ignition. The static electricity is not caused by the mobile.
