I am ashamed to admit that I have that gas cap. But, at least I got $50 off from the dealership with a coupon they gave me at time of purchase.
Still, ashamed.

That gas cap looks nice but consider the damage it can do if you drop it vs. the plastic one.

Considering it's "aluminum-look" plastic, not aluminum, there isn't a problem other than the whole "scuffed up, now showing black plastic underneath" issue.
It's tethered and I always hang it on the hook when I'm refueling so it's no problem.

When I first saw that pic on a website I thought to myself, man gotta get one. Then when I saw that price I said, I guess not. Shame though, it looks awesome.

It is illegal to pump your own gas in NJ.

What??? I can't even think of ANYWHERE here that even offers that anymore.

I believe it's the same situation in Oregon.

Hi,
It's particularly silly when you consider that it lives it's life under the Gas Flap where no one can see it...

I think if you get one of these and "de-snork" the car you'll get anywhere from a 0 to extraordinary HP increase depending on who you are and what your opinions on the subject are.

Jim's right. Much too pretty to keep hidden under a lid. It should be sold as a package with a clear plexiglass gas flap.
