I'd think you'd have to be uncomfortably close to the person fueling their vehicle. Whenever static discharge has caused a fire at a gas station, it's been where the person filling the car grabs the nozzle and discharges on that nozzle, where there's a high concentration of gas fumes. I would think that most motorists would object to a cyclist dismounting that close to them.
