Do you just let your gas cap dangle?
I can't figure out where to hook the gas cap while filling up. It basically has to dangle and touch the rear quarter panel while I fill up. All my other cars have/had a holder of some sort. Am I missing something very obvious? Any aftermarket contraptions for this issue?

i removed the plastic thing that holds the cap. so I remove the cap, place it on top of the fuel pump, pump with gas, then screw it back on.
Otherwise the lid dangles and will scratch up the paint.

Just goto Home Depot, Lowes, or some other hardware store, get a hook with the sticky back anstick it on the gas door. Then hang the gas cap cord over it keeping it away from the car/paint. NO TOUCHY!!!!!!!!!! :D

or i don't worry about little things like this. but i don't let the gas cap hang either. there is enough room for the gas cap to sit in front of the fill hole. or throw it over the gas pump while you're filling. get creative!
i just don't understand why people post these kind of topics. just like the closing the trunk thread. i didn't think closing the trunk was rocket science. why not post something like "i engineered my own gas cap holding mechanism". i'm not bashing you guys for your enthusiasm over our cars, but you must be really bored.
i'm addicted to my 8. as of right now, i have swapped cars with a friend of mine. he has taken my 8 and i have taken his M3. who should be more worried?? definately me. why do you think i'm on this board?? cause i love my car. but all in all, i don't worry about the little things.

Dan, I started this thread because I thought I was missing a clip of some sort or thought there was a better way to place it using what was already there as opposed to letting it dangle. All y other cars had some kind of holder.
Sorry I'm as "creative" as you. I'll be carefull not to start such silly threads in the future, my man.
Alternatively, if a post doesn't interest you, don't bother reading it or responding to it.

haha...i'm not "creative". more like "eh, i'll just lay it here so it won't scratch the car" type of guy. :D
honestly i apologize for posting. i went against my own rule of not reading or replying to posts that don't interest me. but there are SO many of them on this board, it makes me wonder at times.
