Gas cap discussion

Where do you put your gas cap when re-fuelling ?

1. Let it dangle on its retention strap, against the fender
2. Balance it on the fuel door
3. Wedge it between the fuel door and fender
4. Use a clamp to hold it to the fuel door
5. Hang the strap over the notch in the fuel door engagement clip.
6. Hang it over the pump handle so it is not touching the paint
at all.

My VW cap looked like it had been mitre-sawed about 6mm deep,
2mm wide, and the groove could be used for slotting and securing
the cap atop the fuel door.

My MINI had a loop on the inside of the fuel door which received
the threads of the cap and held it in place.

The STi has none of the above as I can tell. The cap can be rested
on the notch, but it often blows off
