This was a surprise ... a shock, actually.
When I drove into the gas station to fill up my rental car tank at the end of my most recent trip to Las Vegas, I didn't see a gas tank cap while standing there with the hose in my hand.
Apparently, the auto company had figured out a way to eliminate gas caps. All you have to do is poke the pump nozzle into the thingy without unscrewing a cap.
Which begs the question: Why did it take so long for someone to figure it out? I mean, the auto manufacturers spend a lot of time fine-tuning the outer design, how come nobody was thinking about basic stuff like this until now?
What's next? The oil dip stick ... HEY! That's it! Somebody please ... work on that.
