see, someone out of curiousity just went up to another person's car and started pushing on it 
and the concept is understandable but like you said the only thing is now someone will need a funnel instead of twisting off a cap to **** in your tank..lol..
serious note though, remember the hood dent on a fox from people pressing the hood down? i foresee someone denting the door over a course of time.

I can just picture myself, pulling up to the gas station for the first fill-up. Just standing there, looking at the fuel door, looking at the pump, looking at the fuel door, looking at the pump, looking back at the fuel door, looking back at the pump… they'd eventually have to ask me to leave.

Just noticed this post. And you're absolutely right. Hell, I don't want to touch a car that is perfectly clean. WTF?

I read it. Do you know how the new capless system works? There's a little spring loaded door that pushes in when you insert the nozzle, or anything else that will fit in it. Hell, I could open it with almost anything.. a finger, a pen, etc....

Therefore it is more secure than the current system in which you can open the seal (gas cap) with your hand and dump anything down the pipe.
You can't just use your fingers to open the gas entry point, you have to use the supplied funnel or gas filler at the station.
I don't see how this is hard to understand.
I guess I could stilll just go up to your car with my funnel and pee in it....

If you look at how the capless system works....
That's why only certain sized nozzles will unlatch/unlock the system.
I mean I guess you could technically push the tabs back with your fingers and then push open the door...
Or like I said above..if your worried just get a locking cap....big whoop
And no sorry I haven't tried to open all the fuel filler caps I've seen,
that kinda thing just ..ya know...doesn't cross my mind.
Spring-loaded tabs pull back a flap in the filler neck when the pump nozzle is inserted. When fueling is complete, and the nozzle is removed, the system automatically seals shut.

Have you ever seen one of these up close?

Uh, you are reading into things that aren't there. I quoted your statement where you said the new cap isn't secure. I replied to that statement that there is nothing secure about the current version. Obviously, if you had said the current version was or wasn't secure, then I wouldn't have made a comment. I was just making a comment related to your post that wasn't directed towards you, but to a general audience that may not know how secure the current setup is. Please reread my post as you didn't really comprehend what I was saying. Just read what is there. After rereading it, please post the portion where I said that you said the current version is secure or where I implied it.

how do you get your door open now without touching it?...even if there was a remote inside you would still have to touch the door to close it...

This is puzzling to me, not sure if you are being serious or not. How do you open or close your car door without touching it? How do you close your trunk without touching it?
