I've had my 05' Mustang for about 5 months now and It was driving me crazy that it didn't have a locking gas cap (or locking door). Its 2005 and almost every new car I have seen has a locking fuel doot. I wanted one like this:
But they still don't make them for '05. So I finally settled for a cheap locking gas cap form Fordparts.com. It looks like this:
Its the only one I could fine..... Was about 21.00 bucks.
Does this bother anyone else??????? Any other solutions?

There is no locking gas cap listed for the 05 Mustang, yet. There are, however, some caps made by Ford that do fit on the Mustang perfectly, keep gas in, keep thieves out, and don't pop the SES or Check Gas Door lights, so to me, that is a suitable replacement. I bought it from my dealer, who isn't going to void my warranty for it, so don't even bring that up. And I sure don't need a BP ad to make my car run.
