One of the first additions I made to my 91. Mine came from Mid America Motorworks (#609711 for $19.99), though it looks like most of the usual sources have them. Mine works fine and has the feature that you can unlock it as use it as a fixed regular cap or lock it with the key which allows the upper cap to free spin until "unlocked."

Mine came with one when I bought it. I figured it was a standard thing.

I guess our vettes didn't originally come with locking gas caps?

My 95 just has a regular non-locking one on it and it looks factory.

I thought it would be a good idea to get one after taunting new england fans at the bar after the game last weekend!

Ill probably just go to autozone or napa or something like that and get one there so as not to have to pay more money for it/shipping/ and wait for it to be shipped.

I bought mine at Meijer. I think I paid $7.95 for it. Made by Stanton. Cheap peace of mind from Vette 'hatin' vandals and gas thieves.
