Most gas powered car fires are caused by mechanical and electrical related problems, nothing to do with the actual fuel.

Well, yeah, fuel doesn't ignite itself in a car in working order. Something else has to cause the fire.

But according to the report, only 28% of fires started with the fuel igniting. So that's less than I expected.
