Time for a locking gas cap?
Had a few reports in the area about stolen gas already with these damn rising prices.
At near $40 to fill up I don't want to find my tank on empty in the morning.
How are the Ford locking caps for the 01's?
I never had the "non-clicking" gas caps before.

Try Napa, I got mine for $30.00. We recently had a problem with some kids in the apartment complex sticking rocks and trash in people's gas tanks.

I've got the 'Ford' locking gas cap. As mentioned, it has a nice looking logo on it and it works well. I think I paid ~$20 at the dealer.

A locking gas cap has always been a good idea.
A dozen mothballs in a gas tank = dead engine.

Skyhawk, that was tha first one that I have seen that made me LOL.
Hey, insect2 has a good alternative to moth *****. Check it out.
As far as the topic at hand, I live in the country where I don't think it is likely that someone will try to steal, locking gas caps have always been a good idea.

Yeah I seen that mothball post. What a crock. They also said that if you can't find Autolite racing plugs to get the Platinum Pro's and cut the tip of them. Let's see.. hassle to find plugs I want vs 2800 for new engine, ummmm.... I'll take the hassle of finding the right plugs. You should never have to regap a platinum plug you will just mess them up.( which you would have to after cutting electrode off)
