To each his/her own, but regardless of your use case for each vehicle, I feel like a locking cap is worth a measly $25 or $30 to prevent damage to thousands of dollars worth of modded JLR. After all, if your Jeep is down hard, you won't be enjoying any freedom or DIY, other than replacing all the damaged components....and that's no fun.
Mainly the tampering thing. Like others have said, if someone wants your gas they are gonna get it, just like if they want your battery or headlights they are gonna get them. Real thieves arent going to be deterred by a lock.
...and/or the aftermarket would have provided the functionality, as it has for your hood example, indeed in several different forms.....
The aftermarket sells all kinds of things that arent needed like turn signal extenders. Doesnt mean its a real problem just a product you can sell to people.
absolutely, as sure as sometimes such aftermarket wares are a true homerun in added functionality.
I thought you used facts, not personal attacks, to support your positions? You must be having another bad day.
And as someone with self professed Homer Simpson hands I have never felt the need for a longer or beefier stalk.
Prevent?
What's your evidence?
Do you have data on fuel tank contamination crimes for locking versus non-locking fuel doors?
Yep. As a fellow PA resident, I learned that firsthand, a few years ago during a state inspection appt. We bunted to a low[er] cost aftermarket gas cap, which failed to pass during the following year's emission inspection. Ok, Honda, you win. We fessed up for a factory gas cap and all has been well since then.
And that's one free beer to Mark for using the correct shorthand.
