Fridge Off While Gassing up
So I recently read a post where a fellow mentioned turning off his refrigerator before filling up at the gas station and turning it back on when finished. I've never done this and never thought it was...

Yes, I do. Again, it's probably unnecessary but when I refuel I make sure the refer is shut off. If it's cold and the furnace is on, I'll make sure that's off too. If the generator is running we shut that down too. We never roll with the hot water heater on, but I'd shut that down if we did.
Probably overkill and not necessary, but it's not that much of a deal. Our refer and furnace are on the same side as our fuel fill, although the fuel door is a good 10' back from the refer/furnace.
