No gas cap, no problem

So, as we arrive at Costco gas, my wife confesses to me that she lost the gas cap to the 03. That was Wednesday, and there still is no check engine light on. Shouldn't it have gone on by now? Where can I get a replacement? WalMart, or maybe a local gas station and get one that someone else left behind?

My wife adheres to the rule "real women never pump gas". And if that is all it takes to keep her happy, that's fine with me!Also - isn't that thing tethered?

Yeah they are tethered; and I'll give you one guess on who snipped it off from the plastic tethering.....just one guess..........come on, I know you can get it Thanks for the advice; I did not know gas caps were different sizes. I'll go to the local auto parts store at once.
