    You could also get one of these flip out protectors for your gas cap...

      Curious, what 2010 model does not come with Ford's Easy Fuel capless system?

        I just bought a 2010 Ranger, has a regular cap. I'd have to look off hand for a complete list. I'm a tech at a Ford dealership. I have noticed a few models that don't have it, never kept a mental note though!
        There's no reason to become alarmed, and we hope you'll enjoy the rest of your flight. By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?

          Now that I think about it, I think it is standard on all fresh 2010 models and will become standard on all models by 2011.

          Either way, I can say it is a very handy feature. My 2009 Euro-spec Ford Fiesta has it, and I really like it. Not as much as the fully hands-free entry and push button start, though

            That no-cap deal you mention can't be illegal, because my new GT500 came with it from Ford, stock. It has two little nibs, one on each side of the hole, that release the flap covering the filler tube when you push the gas nozzle into it, then the spring loaded flap comes back up and locks in place after you remove the nozzle again. I love it, even though I feel like such a dork, always reaching in to take the gas cap off when I put gas in the car!

                When I finish pumping gas I put a paper towel from the squeegee area under the nozzle as I take it out of the filler pipe. No gas drips on my nicely waxed car
                I got so mad at a girl who was texting while she was driving,that I rolled down my window and threw my beer at her
