Three words in honor of the recent runup in fuel prices:

[randomness]

Locking. Gas. Cap.

(My car's locking fuel door broke from metal fatigue a while back, but with the recent price rises I decided it was time to get a locking gas cap, rather than wait to get another fuel door.)

Yes yes yes! I just looked into that yesterday and was horrified to find out MA won't register new ones! Can't you register elderly ones tho? So you could get an old Jetta in the meantime?

Mind you, I grew up with diesel Jettas and then a Fox, and sorta kinda almost learned to drive stickshift on one (I never got good), but they're a little cranky and I don't think I want to deal with another European car's electrical gremlins any time soon.

True enough, you can register a used diesel...and of course you can register a new diesel truck. But I'm still hoping to be able to register a new one sometime.

(I suppose I could just get a residence in New Hampshire, register it there and thumb my nose at the RMV.)

avoid Audis at ALL costs.

Oh yeah.
