All one can do is harden the target. If your vehicle is low to the ground, has a locking cap, in a well lit area, etc.. a potential crook MAY chose to hit another auto.
yupp its hurting out wallets. imagine if we have use 91 octane.
I have a friend that uses 91 octane on his 05 focus hatch... personally, I see no point in using it unless you are racing. I've read everywhere and have talked to mechanics and they all say that 91 isn't any better than the others
Thank you everyone for your suggestions and links. I was able to remove the tether by pushing up from underneath with a screwdriver, which caused the shaft to slide up. I was then able to pull the "pin" the rest of the way out and remove the tether, and thus the cap.
It appears the keys for the locking Honda caps are all different. I bought two locking caps; one was used for an Element, the other for my Fit. (Same part numbers...the caps are identical) The keys only open the cap they came with, not the other cap. Each cap came with two keys.

P.S. When each cap arrived, the lock cylinder was packaged in the box along with the cap and keys, but it was not actually in the cap. I had to insert the cylinder into the cap by lining it up and pressing it in until it snapped into place.
Just yesterday evening Sept 9, 2008 we stopped at a dealer and bought a Honda Sport 2009 Silver since my wife likes it's style and wanted a second car. The salesman was showing us how to use the radio and move the seats etc. I happened to look for the Gas cap release on the drivers side such as we have in our 2007 CRV. They had to find someone in the shop to show us where the release was located. Low and behold, there wasn't one which was rather disappointing but we had already paid for the FIT. Glad I found this forum and will ask the dealer if they will give us a locking cap.
Thanks
