We are used to people burning to death in their gas cars...

Fires in gasoline power vehicles are indeed pretty common.
Fortunately car fires aren't usually fatal, around 1 per 600 fires--almost surprising given that people are as you note driving around with buckets of such inflammable stuff.
The movies have misled us!

"The car was on fire car" accounts for around 1.13% of US vehicle fatalities.
I presume the plurality are variations of the broad category "decelerated too fast"
