Also... it takes you 30 seconds to get into a running vehicle and start driving? What are you doing the other 28 seconds?

I usually leave my gasser F350 running while filling because of a large electrical draw required for work. I don't like to shut down unless I have to so I can keep my battery charged and equipment running. Never had a hassle from anyone and most of the commercial duty pickups do the same around here.

I usually try to get fuel by myself because I'm so slow. I take days.....getting my little book out, writing down the odometer, fuel gauge, location, whether or not the fuel I just burned was work commute errands or out of town, how many gallons I put in, price per gallon and total cost..
And yes, I leave it running unless I am going in to pee or buy

The manual says idle for 3-5 minutes. Like I said. By the time you throttle down until you shut down at the pump, you will cool everything down.
SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE
Turn the ignition to the off position.
To prolong engine life (especially after
extended high speed, high ambient
temperature, or high GVW/GCW operation,
such as heavy loads or heavy trailers), it is
recommended that a hot engine be idled
for 3-5 minutes. This allows the
turbocharged engine to cool down. For
more information on GVW/GCW, see the
Load Carrying chapter in your Owner’s
Manual.

This isn't quite my experience. I can't get EGTs below 400 on a hot day unless the truck is at a dead idle and the AC is off. If it give it ANY throttle whatsoever getting into the station, the EGTs are automatically over 700 or 800 with the RV in tow.
