Better than stock replacement gas cap?

I need a better replacement gas cap. Mazda wants $31 for one and for that price, can I get anything better?

I hate pumping gas anyways, maybe I can get one that will make me like it a bit more. lol

Good suggestion though.

You should be able to get a "quick fill " cap.that cap allows you to Stick the gas Nozzle in without actually taking the cap off.
The Downside: it also allows anyone with a Hose to stick it in there too..Siphon.

i have a stant gas cap...the one that you don't need to take off to put the gas...i got it for $25 from lordco...it works good but sometimes the flap came off because i pushed the gas pump in too fast but it's too big to fall onto the gas tank.
