Static electricity, and a lot too. It's generated by the air flowing over the car at high speeds. Airplanes have the same problem, that's why you'll always see a grounding line running from a fuel truck to the plane before a nozzle gets anywhere near the tanks.

Same reason you see grounding strips in the pit box.
