Wow, I feel stupid now. Never knew about this and I did just let it hang down the side of the car.

Thanks for the tip. Great thing about this car after 3 yrs of ownership is always learning something new about it!

The reverse process is confusing me. So you lift the cap off of the door then rescrew it back into the gas fill nozzle?

lmao and I thought that my Evo was a POS because it didn't have a holder. I have been letting it hang this entire time.

Wow... i've had my Evo for 6 years now. Have 100K miles on her. I have NEVER noticed this. I am the ONLY one who has pumped gas in the car through that time frame as well. I usually put it right next to where you fill the gas. My girlfriend just bought a brand new Jeep grand Cherokee and i was pumping the gas in it and said to her "IDK why the Evo does not have a place to put the gas cap".

Thank you for posting this. I think i am going to go cry in a corner now, of my stupidity. Thank you

This might be the funniest thread I've ever read, but what the hell were you doing using a cell phone at the pump. And why didn't that brain trust attendant wrestle it out of your hand especially with high octane fuel present. I thought I was dumb, but then I learned after 6 years where my gas cap goes. Thanks
