Ah Hah! This makes "sense". I thought the slot just below the cap in your pic was supposed to hold a hanger of some sort. Mystery solved. Thanks!

1997-2000 had slots on the cap to hang on the gas lid. 2001 the tether style started - no more slots.

But then there was a recall a few years ago for the gas cap. 1998 to I think 2001 or maybe 2002. New style cap without the slots was put on as part of the recall.

If you look at your emission sticker there should be a sticker stating the recall was done, and that is why you have no slots on your cap.

I have a 1997 and it was not subject to the recall, so I have the original cap.[/QUOTE]
