Had a guy at work the other day had to replace his tank for that very reason on his Toyota, >$600.00 and hear a lot of the same on the news.

I guess I'd rather have them siphon the gas from my tank rather than wake up and discover someone put a hole in my tank and needs replaced...as well as the gas. I know that is what insurance is for, but your still out your deductible which is still much more than 5 or 10 gallons of gas.

I had a friend that had maple syrup poured into his new 08 Avalanche with 8000 miles. Had to replace the engine and it was not covered under the warranty. For this reason alone I want a locking gas cap!
