Parked gasoline cars catching fire is very common. I know of two cases personally of well maintained, supposedly good quality cars that burned down after parking. There's a lot of heat left over in a car that's been running for a while.

I guess this all comes down to proportion, i.e. how many IC engine on the road that caught fire verse the total number of IC engine production.

My best friend growing up had his car burn to the ground in front of his house. He came home from work, parked out front, and 10 minutes later his car was fully involved. This was 20 years ago. There was no news coverage.
