They steal it everywhere, they even drill holes in the tank to drain it.

I got one from napa. it was like $11.

just got one just in case. mine works fine, but you have to make sure to crank it the required amount of times to lock it, and stuff.

Thats funny...mine works fine. Guess you have to be smarter than the gas cap.

I bought mine from NAPA, a little stiff but works great. Amazing how much my mileage improved with it. Put a locking one on my truck as well, after the cap was stolen and tank drained one night.

The losers here can be real jerks about it.
