    I don't know. I recently rented a semi-fancy 2006 Pontiac and it didn't have
    a locking door. I was surprised.

    Of course, you can get a locking gas cap. In about 3 years since this
    is a new model.

    Or, put the wrong one on, and risk rollover leaks/fire/emission system
    alarms/etc. since it won't be the right one.

    just because its a new model doesnt mean the gas cap isnt an existing
    design. id be VERY surprised if they redesigned the fuel filler and cap
    just for this one model, when they have loads of CAD/CAM designs that
    are proven to work.

    for example... the cap from my 1998 honda civic and my 2003 suzuki
    burgman are identical. the burgman cap locks, civic cap doesnt. i
    swapped em 4 months ago, and both run great, no MIL, no leaks.
    stant probably has a cross-reference somewhere. take the OEM cap off,
    and do the footwork.

    enemies? Not much, just a healthy dose of paranoia.

    I've already got a couple of those remote actuator hooked up to my car
    alarm, so that I can use my car alarm to remotly open and close the
    doors (while activating the alarm at the same time). Each actuator cost
    about $75/each and after 7 years of use, they're still working
    flawlessly.

    If Suzuki can afford to have a gas cap that locks, why can't Honda?

    That's the truth. My daughter rear ended someone (in a Lexus SUV) during
    her first month of driving and my son drove over motorcyclist's head in his
    first year (the biker came out of it none the worse for wear due to a good
    helmet). They were both driving a VERY used 91 Isuzu pickup that I still
    own and drive, now that they have gotten cars of their own. By the way,
    they paid for their new cars out of their own pockets and they are quite
    careful about the car's care and how they drive it.

    Too often, I read about 16-18 year olds that kill themselves (and others) in
    their new cars that Mommy and Daddy gave them for their
    Birthday/Graduation/etc. New drivers simply do not have the necessary
    experience to have "cars to call their own". They should be restricted and
    supervised until they obtain that experience. IMHO.

    That was an ignorant statement worthy of Mike Hunter.
