I don't think issue is simply that they want people to pay attention while fueling -- the actual wording (I looked this morning as I was getting gas) says Cell Phones, Pagers, and Personal Electronic Devices could cause an electrical discharge which could be dangerous. So I wonder, too -- if it's an urban legend, why did the gas companies buy into it and have posted signs for people not to use them?
