When I pulled up at the gas station yesterday abd turned off the car I realized I was still in drive. Just wanted to be sure.

No won't hurt the engine or transmission but car won't crank and start unless you put it back in park first. The only thing it could hurt is if you got out and the car rolled into something or someone.

Years ago, when pollution controls first started being required on autos, they would often "diesel," (continue to sputter and cough) sometimes for minutes after turning the engine off. The easy cure was to leave the car in gear to reduce the engine speed while turning the key off.
As someone else mentioned, the only "bad" that can happen is if you forget to put it in park or apply the emergency brake, and let the car roll into something.

not something out of the conventional. in simple terms yet another extremist cult chief attempting to frighten the ignorant. what's unhappy is this fool will make up a clean date the following day and everybody will start up in back with the tip-of-the-international nonsense. human beings under no circumstances study and degenerates like camping out anticipate that.

No, nothing will happen to the car based on what you just said.
