As a retired LEO I've see more than my share of vehicle fires in accidents. Some occurred when a car was rear ended and there was a can of gas in the trunk. Once you see the damage to the vehicle and usually the occupant(s) you will never make that mistake again. You might be fine if you live in an area where there is little or no traffic, but in areas with a lot of traffic, everyone in a big hurray, and people who don't pay attention, the potential for an accident is great. Once you see someone who was burned in a car fire it will get your attention in a hurry.
