As for the petrol cap thing, I must be missing something that you people do while filling up. I take the cap off with my right hand, hold it while using the nozzle with my left hand and then put it back on again. Never gets near the paint work.

Could if we cut the little piece that holds it on, course why stand there holding the cap in one hand. I normally check my oil when filling up, or go inside to get drinks so having both hands free is nice. And this will allow both without the paint being touched......

And if I want to buy somehing I do it when I go in to pay for the fuel (haven't learnt to trust pay at the bowser card swipes either!).

My method. Free, quick, easy. Just hook the cap onto the tang located on the inside of the door.

This is what went through my mind when I saw the pics with the cap sitting in the holder:
Step one. Unscrew the cap
Step two. Whoops I dropped it and it fell on the ground
No problem just pick it up and dust it off.
Insert silly fuel cap holder thingy
Step One. Unscrew the cap
Step two. Whoops I dropped it and it fell on the ground
Oh #$%^&* that nice handy cord that attaches it to the car so I cant loose it has swung it into the car and damaged the paint work....Maybe I should just hold it in my hand !

Just wondering if all your gas caps come without the attachment plastic and if all your gas caps have the groves in the sides so that you can slide it on the door.
Cause so far all the US ones are solid all the way around like the orginal picture, and thus simply sliding it on the door isn't possible less you buy a aftermarket one or cut the notchs.

For those unable to hook it on the flap door just hang onto it as I do or hey, here's an idea, lay it on the bowser top while you're filling up, checking your oil, buying your drinks, checking the latest stock prices, adjusting your bra strap, etc, etc...
Hmm, wonder if my trunk monkey can source some skyhooks to solve this mighty dilemma. Group buy anyone?
