 It could have been better October 23, 2008
Balddragn (CA)
I wish they had identified the top or bottom of the key slot or they could have used a double sided key, since the key isn't guided into the lock very well it's always a bit of a pain to figure out which end is up.
Another thing that would help, would be some kind of retainer, even if it didn't exactly match the original, at least some kind of lanyard attachment so I didn't have to worry about losing my new gas cap.
At least the fit and function are close to the original cap, just slightly loose.

 STANT LOCKING GAS CAP October 18, 2008
Ronald L. Dossey (Apple Valley, Ca)
VERY CHEAP LOCKING GAS CAP. PLASTIC. LOCKING MECHANISM PULLED OUT THE FIRST TIME I USED IT. PASS ON THIS LOCKING GAS CAP. I WOULD NOT BUY LOCKING GAS CAP FROM STANT AGAIN. CHAP CHEAP CHEAP. WASTE OF MONEY.
does not seal properly, sets engine code September 2, 2008
JS (Atlanta, GA)
I tried this locking gas cap on my 07 Chevy Colorado and it set an engine right away....same code as if the gas cap would have been left off. The treading of the cap looks quite different than the stock cap and it does not appear to get a good connection of the filler neck. I've used Stant locking caps on other vehicles with no problems, but this one is not worth buying for a Chevy truck.
 An Investment That Pays For Itself MANY Times Over August 2, 2008

With gas prices well over the $4.00 mark and news reports of gas thefts rising in record numbers on personal, government, rental, farming, and airline vehicles, this investment has provided peace of mind from the day it was received in the mail.
If you listen to critics, they will tell you that this is a deterrent that is a waste of money, because thieves will still find a way to siphon gas from an automobile by drilling underneath a gas tank, and taking the gas that way. Well, be that as it may, why not make it a little harder for the thief to hit your car?
By not buying a locking gas cap, it's kind of like a person reasoning that it's a waste of time to lock the front door to your home, because if a thief is going to come in and take your belongings, why make it hard for them?
I would trust no other brand of locking gas caps other than Stant, and would advise other car owners to look into purchasing one for each of their vehicles in the near future.
