 HIGHLY unlikely.
 Cigs, pipes, and cigars burn at a temp below the ignition point
 of gasoline vapors.
 LIGHTING up, however, is a whole 'nother thing.
 That spark from a lighter is much hotter than one would think, as
 is the burning of a match, and most any actual flame.
 ( and that spark one may get when touching the car after sliding
 out across the seat )

 How anyone can dispute that is far beyond me.
 Accidents DO happen.

 My other brother and I learned quite a bit about fuels, ignition, storage,
 and distribution many years ago, when we were going to do our part
 for independence of foreign oil, and build liquified natural gas fueling
 stations, and supply dual-fuel conversion kits, that is until we learned
 that all the talk about "alternative fuel" is basicly bull$&* and we'd 
 have been taxed into oblivion had we been stupid enough to proceed.

What is this talk of 'release'? Klingons do not
make software 'releases'. Our software 'escapes'
leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality
assurance people in its wake.
