While standing at the gas pump today, watching $45.00 fly out of my pocket I got to thinking. I have unlocked that gas cap more times then I want to admit. But it requires the key to open. Jeep locks the gas tank but not the hood, the windows just unzip, and the doors can be removed in 1 minute. (Right Rich) It just made me laugh, it's would be like Coleman putting a lock on their camp tents.

You're right! I left something in the jeep one day at work, walked out to get it, and realized I left my keys in my desk. I started to go back in to get them, until I remembered all I had to do was unzip the windows!
As for the doors, I've often thought it's a good thing most people aren't aware jeep doors come off so easily, or that would be a more common prank/theft. (I don't know what anyone would do with hot jeep doors, but it would certainly be a pain to have them taken!)
The locking gas cap probably isn't such a bad idea with the cost of gas now!

Sometimes I swear that some degenerate is syphoning out of my tank...I will park the Jeep with a little less than 1/4 tank, and get back in the next morning and the fuel light will go off first thing. Where is Mr. Wizard when you need him to explain something like that?

I have noticed the same "phenomenon". The needle is always a little lower the next morning, than where I left off the evening before. Since I park in the garage at night, I suspect the wife may be siphoning gas for the Tahoe. ;D

sorry to be a smart ass, but cold gas occupies less volume. so technically, your gas tanks are lower in the morn because the gas had all night to cool off.

I can't imagine that much of a difference of a few degrees on a liquid, especially a petrolium liquid. |
