We see a signage at gasoline station saying that we must turn off our mobile phones or cellphones, why is this so?

all our cellphones are engaged with electrical frequencies. gasolines are easily flammable with a spark. the frequencies from our cellphones have the chance of producing a charge in the gasoline which lead to bursting and damage to life. moreover for just five minutes switching off our mobile phones may increase battery power for five extra minutes. so be safe. have a nice day.
