The other night I forgot to put my gas cap back on.
When I got home I saw that the door was open, and figured I was headed for a trip to autozone for a cap. The gas cap was stuck up under the spoiler, though  Who said that stock spoilers aren't functional? hehe -------------------- "Somebody give me a fire...so I can burn this city down." - Widespread Panic

The inside of your fuel door doesnt have a place for the cap?

actually many people dont know about the little gas cap holder on the door! For me it took some homless guy bothering me for money to come up and do it...
So Public anouncement: There is a Gas Cap Holder On Your Gas Tank Door! |

yes, but with the big plastic splash guards on the modern pumps, the cap really gets in the way

I've yet to have a problem from those. I've filled up everywhere from KC to Miami, Amoco to Chevron, and have never had the gas cap(on the holder) get in the way. |

I hardly ever used that cap holder because I would somehow keep knocking it off with those plastic guards on the nozzles.
I guess I should use it more, though. -------------------- "Somebody give me a fire...so I can burn this city down." - Widespread Panic

cause you have some people that go and pump their own gas and don't ground them selves first and cause a spark when they touch the gas nozzle and start a fire... then thats when things blow up... -------------------- |

I don't know anybody that's blown up in Alabama... well, not due to gas,,, well,,,, not due to a gas station. Yea, that's a true statement.
 I know of one place around where I live that pumps it for you, but it's mostly used by old ladies. Jon |

I thought it was a union thing in Oregon, but it could be to just avoid drive offs.
