I think a bigger risk than cell phones is the fact that people get in and out of their cars while filling up. This is VERY common, especially for women, because we don't like to be cold or hot, so we get back in the car for shelter. The action of getting in and out builds up static electricity on our bodies and can ignite the fumes around the gas cap.
