Gas cap!!!!

Has anyone out there ever lost the gas cap to our cars and had to buy another one. It's ridiculous. The one for the accords is only about $8-$9. Ours cost f**king $28. That is unreal. I'll never lose that thing again. They need to come up with some sort of attaching device. Cause i know i'm not the only forgetful person.

I don't know. I just went straight to the dealer. He said they cost so much because of the suction or air pressure or something like that.

i'm never going to get anything from honda that isn't under warranty ever again. I think they know your going to lose it and that's why they make them so expensive. It's a conspiracy i tell you.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/IMG]

28 bucks for a gas cap! Factory parts are expensive but that is a new level of expensive. Man! I would have just gone to pepboys or something. I bet you will keep a better eye on that puppy now. LOL

have you tried looking in advanced autoparts, or some kind of store like that yet? i'm sure you can find some kind of universal cap, our civics aren't that f-ing special.

Just go to a gas station and tell them you left it behind. They probably have tons lying around.

Get the hanger form HandA and stick it on and use it. Not a big deal. There's tons of posts about that here.

28 bucks for a gas cap!!!! What BS. I love going to the Honda parts counter and asking for prices on stupid ripoff factory parts and then laughing at their ridiculous prices.
