I usually drive it everyday, and it's city miles, but I was parked for two days(waiting on clutch cable) then parked 2 days(waiting on license plate) same driving route everyday in my fj I'll get 245-250 some miles(19 gallon tank, but horrible mileage compared to my mustang)

Drive 30 miles around the city. If you don't use half a tank, someone pranked you.

Well, came to the conclusion it was a dumb piece of **** siphoning my gas.. My wife said she filled up the FJ from a 1/4 tank on Friday after I just filled it up two days before that... So I just bought locking caps and I'm gonna razor blade the old cap a couple random nights and sit outside with my AK47 waiting...

Holy crap! That happened to me while I was stationed in Texas. Picture this...someone knocks on my door and asked me if I was the owner of a blue explorer. I said yes, the person said...you may want to come outside I see what's going on. I did...what I saw amazed me...I saw a drunk with a 5-gallong jerry can stealing my gas. I called the cops, but I stayed outside to entertain the drunk a bit...I asked him...out of these cars out here, why the blue truck...he replied...only one without a locking cap. Bingo!

At that time, the cops showed up. Needless to say, the dude was arrested and taken away.

Lesson learned--buy a locking cap. No need to get aggressive with an idiot drunk. Cops got him good.
