It isn't. However, if you have an older vehicle, which can allow fuel to spill out, and this does happen, you'll be liable to be cited and fined for that, especially as fuel oils (and especially unleaded fuel and hydraulic oil) will break down asphalt.

Verify that the cap is tight. Drive for a couple of days, and if the light is still on, you have a vapor leak in the fuel system and will need service.Verify that the cap is tight.

Why would car stall with gas cap on?

If air valve in cap is blocked, then no air can enter the tank as fuel is used. This causes a vacuum and stops fuel from pumping. Remove cap when motor is warm tank is only half full and drive for about 5Klm. If it doesn't stall then replace your fuel cap with a new one. If it still stalls then something else is the problem.
