Default Who's using a locking gas cap?

On my '04 Mazda 3you can't get anything down the filler neck after about 5-6 inches so gas can't be siphoned out. My question is, can you siphon out of the RAM? If so I may invest in a lockng cap.

i got a locking cap about a year ago, when gas prices went above 3.50 a gallon. it works great, but i haven't ever tried siphoning from my tank.

I use one, not only for people siphoning, but fore people that would put **** down there... It works great, just make sure you lube it when you first get it, mine was a pain to get open, but i lubed it once and its been perfect.

There is a "ping pong ball" type device in the filler neck of the Ram that prevents people from being able to get a siphon hose in there to siphon out gas.

Cool, cause that's the only reason I'd get one.
