An Investment That Pays For Itself MANY Times Over
With gas prices well over the $4.00 mark and news reports of gas thefts rising in record numbers on personal, government, rental, farming, and airline vehicles, this investment has provided peace of mind from the day it was received in the mail.

If you listen to critics, they will tell you that this is a deterrent that is a waste of money, because thieves will still find a way to siphon gas from an automobile by drilling underneath a gas tank, and taking the gas that way. Well, be that as it may, why not make it a little harder for the thief to hit your car?

By not buying a locking gas cap, it's kind of like a person reasoning that it's a waste of time to lock the front door to your home, because if a thief is going to come in and take your belongings, why make it hard for them?

I would trust no other brand of locking gas caps other than Stant, and would advise other car owners to look into purchasing one for each of their vehicles in the near future.

Bought this to prevent fuel theft (and possibly being stuck somewhere)
Fits 2005 GM Cadillac Escalade 2004 (non-screw type OEM).
In locked position, the cap free-spins. In unlocked position, the cap twists with the turn, opening the fuel cap.

The key only comes out in locked position (i.e. free-spin). This is a hassle, because I originally wanted to occasionally lock (e.g. parked in questionable neighborhood), and leave it unlocked most of the time. Now I carry both gas caps (OEM around home, and this locking one when I am on a trip).

Excellent product
I purchased this locking fuel cap for my 2008 Chevy Tahoe and it fits perfectly with no problems. Easily installed in minutes. I was able to install with original plastic tether.

Cheap "insurance"
As previously stated, you can go the Stant's web site to find the model that fits your vehicle. I found one for my 2008 Sierra (flexfuel) and it works great. It is easy to get on and off.

Stant 10511 Locking Gas Cap
This fuel cap fits my 2004 GMC Sierra. Stant has a tool on their website to find the gas cap that will fit your vehicle. The cap is a little tricky to get off. You have to put the key in, then turn the key and the rest of the cap. Definitely a good investment though because a $12 cap can protect you from getting $65 worth of gas stolen from you.

Top 10 Auto-Gadgets and Assistant Systems of 2007

Not every car features such devices as rain detector or adaptive cruise-control. It looks like the world is waiting for autopilot. The sophisticated systems that help you park the car are not a rarity any more. Let me show you the rating of top 10 systems that have been popular with the drivers this year.

10. Jaguar XF joystick

It seems that the device caught the audience's fancy due to its funny functioning. It is a big adjustable joystick of Jaguar XF which is used for shifting gears. When touched it appears from the central panel like a camera lens. The functionality of the device is not quite obvious, but what an idea!

9, 8. Vovlo blind zone monitoring and Citroen unforeseen deviation from the movement line

Such functions are used by Lexus and Mercedes as well. The cameras are installed into rear-view mirrors and if they spot that a car is going to overtake you’re the indicator lights. To all appearance rear-view mirrors will be soon replaced by cameras everywhere. The Citroen system makes the driver’s seat vibrate if the car loses the line. This is a kind of new interpretation of relief road stripping and margin.

7. Aston Martin antique key

The Europeans seem to have like the antique key to Astons Martin DBS. It is called Emotion Control Unit and is a polished sapphire with an inbuilt container of a stainless steel which must be placed in an aperture in the central console. After this the key lights red which means that the engine is ready.

6. Mercedes navigation voice control

If the driver pronounces the name of a spot that exists on the map, Mercedes will drive straight there

5. Around view by Nissan

The invention allows to view a full picture of what is going on around the car. The goal of the device – to simplify parking.

4. Hybrid application by Toyota

Each hybrid sold by the company comes alongside with a special manual the goal of which is to increase the technical level of the customers. The information that is displayed on the screen features the condition of the engine, power reserve etc.

3. Toyota and VW park assistants

The companies taught its systems to determine the size of the parking space. The driver only has to brake which in reality is the vital function.

2. Lexus 8-grade transmission

The 8-grade transmission by Lexus for the hybrid LS600h beats all the records. One of the gears is used for backing, another one – for driving on the electric engine, the third – for the sport mode, the 4th – for the balanced hybrid mode, plus there is a manual mode.

1. Weather forecast by BMW

Despite the unbelievable complacency of Lexus device the first place is occupied by BMW weather forecast. The system collects and analyzes the weather conditions and informs the owner of a BMW convertible model if he should unfold the top and when rain might srart.
