Locking Gas Caps

I recommend everybody purchase a locking gas cap. Now that gas prices have offically exploded, especially around here, siphoning is becoming the hot thing. Called around yesterday, Napa had one in stock for $20, autozone would have to order it, but it costs $12. Bought the $20 cause i wanted it today. Would rather spend the $20 and not need it, then to take the risk of not having one and have somebody siphon my gas while i'm at work (park in the back so i'm not able to see it from my office). I'd recommend everybody do the same. You can also purchase them from your dealer for I believe $20 ish....can't remember the price. Best bet is Autozone if you can find them there.

Autozone yesterday had a two pack for the price of one, but you had to order it from their site. If you didn't mind waiting, those who have two KJ's that would be the best option.

Now that its at $4 a gallon and they're talking we're gonna be completely out of gas with in the next couple of days unless the piped get running again, i'd rather spend the $20 now for the piece of mind then $74 TWICE if somebody steals my gas.

Ive wanted one for along time, i kinf of forgot about it, ill probably get the one from the dealer, i would believe it would work the best. My brother got one for his cherokee and it was $15 at the dealer. I like it too, so ill get that one. I think it should some standard.

I was thinking the same thing so I went out tonight and got one at Pep Boys for $15 (Stant 11508). Fits fine and works great.

I went around today to find one, and every auto zone and checker within a 20 mile radius of my house didn't have any locking gas caps.

they're extremely hard to come by now, everybody is snatching them up. Best bet is gonna be to prolly order one from the net, or have the store order you one. Might be quicker on the net.
