It also damages your fuel system such as the catalytic converter.

Got a link for that? I'd say it's bogus only because the catalytic converter is the last thing in the exhaust cycle prior to exiting via the muffler.

The worst you will get is a fuel system EVAP pressure error. It will throw a code on modern vehicles if the fuel cap is not replaced and tight enough after fueling, but it won't damage anything. That code will also disappear if you shut the car off, ensure the fuel cap is tight, restart the car and resume driving. The sensor for this is based on pressure (a closed-loop system), and the open/loose cap will throw that pressure off.

But she will never get that gas out of her car.

Dryer sheets do wonders.

I suffer from peripheral neuropathy. I made the mistake of telling the skank at the Department of Motor Vehicles that I suffer that condition. She immediately canceled my license, so for me, this is no longer an issue. My home health aide is a bit careless so I guess I’d better my pistol concealed on my lap.

Yes. And lock doors to prevent “sliding.”
