Have you ever been driving down the road having just lit a fag, happily puffing away only to see a petrol station ahead and realise that you are almost out of fuel? Don't you hate to waste that brand new cigarette by extinguishing it before filling up? Well according to the boffins at the US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms you really don't have to. According to them, after extensive research they found that it is virtually impossible to light petrol with a cigarette despite what we see in Hollywood films. (Warning: actually lighting a fag at the pump might not be such a good idea however.)
And, in case you missed it, you needn't worry about your mobile phone either. Rumours that mobiles would ignite the fuel were also a myth just like global warming.
