I remove my cap, start pumping gas, then I look for a great place to put my cap. Then the gas shuts off, and the tank is full before I can find just the perfect spot to be honored by the presence of my cap. So, I just reinstall the cap on the fuel tank.

I don't set it on the leather seat...
put it thread side up on right driver floorboard.
Pay $15 for this? Seems like a reach to make this more of a problem then it actually is.

1. Pull sheet of paper towel from dispenser at pump.
2. Place cap on towel on top of pump
3. Fill tank
4. Replace cap & daub spillage with towel.
5. Put towel in pumpside trash and go.
NB: When the day comes that I ride off with a gaping hole in the tank where the cap should be, I give up riding and going outside by myself.

I put my gas cap on top of the pump while filling up.
I have never once driving off and forgot my cap.
But at my age, a reminder to put my pants on in the morning would be handy.

OMG..... Is the gas cap really a big deal? Set is on the seat. By the time I need gas it is pretty empty so the cap is dry. Reinstall it when I am done. This is not rocket science.

Not only is it not a big deal, it isn't any size deal at all, and the volume of discussion this topic generates befuddles me.
$15 bucks for a magnet and some glue?
Sign me up. As a seller.
Got some rocks out back, anyone wanna adopt one?
Only $25 plus s&h.
No it's not, but by the way these gas cap threads go, you'd think it was the biggest problem facing motorcyclists.
