It has nothing to do with the seats in cars... Do you think that Bronco had special seats? It has to do with how tires are made now and the silica compounds not allowing energy to dissipate to the ground as a chassis builds up a charge moving through the air... But yah.. worry about your seats causing it...

Haven't you heard about this? That is why you are not suppose to get back into your car while pumping gas. When you get in and out, you can create static charges and when you touch that metal close to the gas pump, you will create a spark and then boom!! If you do get in and out, make sure to touch some metal away from the gas pump to get the static charge out of you first. Many people only think this is a myth but I rather be safe than sorry.

Or you can use the window to close the door, since it won't conduct electricity. I don't mind the fingerprint b/c that shock kinda hurts
