Why didn't they add a capless gas cap?
Ford started the capless gas cap in 2009. I think it is a great idea. I don't know why one does not exist for the 370Z, heck gas caps have no changed in decades except for this one difference. I want to get one but I have to ask myself why Nissan did not add one to start with. Do they know something I don't know, or did they mis the boat, or am I ahead of the curve? Anyone have one or have opinions?

It is for people who are always forgetful or too lazy to twist a cap or are always in a hurry trying to save two seconds. It does improve performance though.

I have a Stant capless gas cap. Not sure if they make them anymore.

Honestly, sometimes if something simple already works really well, why muck about with it? The hook does a really good job of keeping the cap off the paint, and you don't exactly need to be a weightlifter to unscrew the cap.
