Don't know, maybe the additional cost of managing another key code keeps
them from making the locking cap a standard.

I suppose that one could rationalize the cost of getting an aftermarket cap
as that of one full tank being
siphoned out; at today's gas prices at least.
Will look into getting one too. I need to also get the cargo net for the
back. It was missing when I bought the car used.

We drove the Lw300 from New York City up to Vermont this weekend. Gas
consumption was a respectable 24 mpg especially considering that we spent a
good deal of the trip going through some pretty steep portions of the Green
Mountains. And, unlike my old underpowered minivan, passing on an upgrade IS
possible.

Gas at home has been about $2.30 and got a tank in Vermont for $1.92. I
wonder if the difference is in taxes on the gas or what?
