How would you like 30 gallons of gas, every year, absolutely free?

That's how much gas is lost, according to some estimates, by every single vehicle with a faulty gas cap.

175 pounds of pollution, annually, released into the environment, with absolutely no benefit to anyone...and that's per car!

Multiply that by the number of cars with missing or leaky gas caps (17 percent of vehicles, in one study) and you end up with a whole lot of gasoline, bought and paid for, vanishing into thin air.

About 147 million gallons of it, across the US, every year.  At $3.85 a gallon, that's more than half a billion dollars' worth of fuel, wasted.

So the next time you check your tire pressure, check your cap, too.  You might end up saving some green... while simultaneously saving the environment!
