The problem usually happens when shutting it off after 30 seconds (not five minutes), like when moving it across a parking lot. She/you should be fine. I occasionally put gas in my car in the morning, probably five minutes after starting it, and it's been fine.

You'll be fine on a 5 minute drive. Plus, the newer models don't have as many issues with flooding. Even the older models with all of the required updates shouldn't have too much of a problem with flooding.
