Locking gas cap question

As the Fit doesn't come with a locking gas cap door, I think it's probably a good idea to buy a locking gas cap. As I've never bought one before are they all universal or is there a certain size I need to get for the Fit. Thanks for any replies.

P.S. Still trying to figure out why my key shaft gets so warm? When I pull it from the stem, it's quite toasty at least in this hot weather.

the tank is not that big so it wont be a big of a loss if they see a nice big truck/suv near.

my 4 runner has a 23 gallon tank, so they would moreso go for that vs a fit.

Might find a nice dent instead of losing a tank of gas.

Try a Stant gas cap as you should be able to get 1 for under $20. If I remember correctly the part number is 10507, but check that. Have one on my car and it works just fine. Hope this helps...
