Locking Gas Caps

[kakouras]

Just bought a locking gas cap. Gas prices are so high I don't want anyone to steal my gas. Have you bought one? Are locking caps better than non locking caps for fuel economy? I paid $15. What did you pay?

I think that's about what I paid. I had to get a gas cap when I lost mine while on the road. it was $5 more than a standard cap. and with the key on my keyring, I don`t forget to put on the cap anymore.

Was I misinformed? Could a locking cap give you better mileage?

it prevents your tank from being siphoned. As for increase in MPG, i doubt it.

I think I paid 13.99 I bought it after I came out and I had not even enough gas to make it to the gas station I filled it up the day it was siphoned. I was so fucking pissed.

My neighbors siphoned my gas too :/ I ran out about 1/4 mile from the gas station.

I've had my tanks syphoned and put these caps on and the problem has 'stopped'.

Only because I have my hunches on who did and they are too inexperienced to get around it.

Stealing is an art, if someone wants something you have, they will get it.

Sorry your gas was siphoned. I usually kept the tank nearly empty. I wonder if there is something out there that can keep my cap attached to the car. I would spend $15 for it, would you? I really miss my strap thingy.

duct tape is only a couple bucks a roll.

Or if you really wanted you could use Gorilla tape which is like $5.25 I think, It's made from the same people that make Gorilla Glue! http://www.gorillatape.com/why.htm

You could probably tape, or glue, or screws to adhere a rubber strap to the gas cap and car. (probably shouldn't put screws into the gas cap though I think it needs to hold pressure?)

I don't know if they're available aftermarket, mever looked, but most of the cap straps I've seen streach around the top of the filler neck and onto the cap.

mever? Is that like, almost never... but not just quite never?

mever [meah 'vur] adj. - absence of event occuring, columination of english language "never" and redneckiese (partial blockage of mouth opening by chewing tabacco). Pronounciation enhanced after usage of spit can.

Clear things up a bit?

Still having a hard time locating the hollybilly spell checker.

What part of that had anything to do with Camaros, gas caps, or vehicles in general...
