Bob Drake locking gas cap

[Anton Voycheck]

Gas is $2 a gallon.

Unless you park the car on the street full time, what is the need for the locking gas cap?

Gas prices for Supreme are $3 in Oregon. But I'm not worried about theft of gas. I'm concerned that some anarchist or hooligan wants to dump sugar or other junk in my gas tank. I'm building a driver and want to really use it, so it might be parked in public places. It all comes down to what contingencies to plan for.

Make sure you lock your car door too. A gentleman parked his car and when he came out of the store he found people sitting in his car fooling around with the interior. They must have be real life gremlins. sheesh... everyone today thinks they have a right to do whatever they feel like.

In my case, my COE gas cap worked its way loose and fell off. Because the filler is on the passenger side I didn't notice it right away. By the time I did notice it some bugs had got into the gas tank and I had to remove the tank and wash out the bug remains.

Now I have a Bob Drake locking gas cap. It seems secure and I don't think it is going anyplace without my permission.
