Fuel Cap... fix. How many of you have done the same?
The idea to keep fuel cap on a leash is older than me, and is implemented in other cars...
Does anyone know why *our* car does not come with *that* from the factory??? There is even a hole in the fuel door!
And also: how many of you have done something similar?

Great idea but it may just scruff the paint if it dangles too close to the body.
Many times I have almost walked away without retrieving the cap from the top of the pump station where I put it while filling...

LOL... here it is -- complete setup for fueling :)
The cap has two slots to rest it on the open fuel door. The string is to avoid dropping it on the ground.

That is so cool! I don't need to leave the cap elsewhere anymore...
and run the risk of leaving it behind. Perhaps I'll give that string a try too. Thanks, a4elias!
Oh, another thing that made me jump up and down like a little kid just yesterday after almost a month were the dimming interior lights that when set to neutral position will gradually illuminate when key is removed from ignition and fade away when car is locked! I thought it was mana from heaven; I almost burst into tears!!
