If I leave the gas pump before hitting yes/no for receipt, am I leaving myself vulnerable to anything?

I generally fill up, get in and drive away. Am I leaving the pump live?!

once you put the nozzle back it ends the sale. leaving the receipt behind shouldn't be a big issue. generally it just has the last 4 of your CC and maybe a name. makes you more vulnerable since you are leaving info out there but odds are not much more.

Getting out quick is probably a good idea, because failing to select either "yes" or "no" will probably cause a major failure with the pump's electronics, resulting in an explosion.

Mobil speedpass is the best. You can have it default to "No" on the receipt selection screen and you never have to print one.

Oh please, the only time it's been to the mechanic was for a burnt out fog light & after he replaced the entire electrical system it lights up just swell. Thanks for askin!

I don't recall ever running across a pump that would allow you to pump gas before answering that question. Then again, I don't fill up the car very often these days.
