No vaprors around? Definitely not true. All vehicles? I don't thing so.
I even still see a lot of gas pump nozzels without the boots you refer to. And what about the gas fumes while people are filling portable gas cans for their generators and lawn mowers, ATVs, etc.? Plus occasional spills from careless people over filling.
I believe fires or explosions from fumes igniting are very rare, but the hazards remain.
I've never been out of MN, SD, or IA in years. But, I have never seen the boots you are talking about except on Television in CA.
