Before you heckle me - no I’m not stupid, and under normal circumstances I usually would turn the car off. In this particular instance, however, my car battery died because I was away for 6 weeks, and there’s not enough gas for me to take it on the highway and get to where I need to go tomorrow (after I try jumping the car). Since if i turn the engine off there’s a large likelihood that the car will die and won’t turn back on again, turning the car off while I fill my tank isn’t a very viable option. Can I get away with it one time, or will I ruin my engine or blow up my car?
If it makes a difference - 2020 Land Rover discover (sport). If that’s not viable, what are my other options for charging my car up enough with only <30 miles in the tank so that I’ll be able to also refuel my car without the battery going out?
Thanks!
Yes. I rarely turn my car off at gas stations.
Most stupidest thing I’ve heard all day 😂 just wait til your cars stolen whilst you’re busy paying or fueling it up. Not to mention the pollution you’re causing. Fair enough if there’s an issue but the fact you said rarely suggests it’s just laziness.
heh
This guy struggles with comprehension.
Not everyone lives in the US or some third world country. I leave my truck idling every morning unlocked with the key in the ignition
That’s nice
From Canada, had to go to New Jersey for work. It blew my mind when my colleague drove to the Full serve and didn’t shut off his car. I’ve always known it’s safe but here they still make you turn off.
