Back from retrieving the auto. The mechanic said the problem was an insecure gas cap, causing evaporation and something something. This revelation resulted in the driver’s recalling that she had lost the gas cap “because I totally forgot it existed” and replaced it with one from Walmart “that really fits!” The mechanic wrote down the Real Toyota Part number and said she’d better get it.

Fortunately for said driver’s bank balance, they didn’t charge us, because we’re a good customer and they weren’t that busy anyhow.

Ohboy. Drama Queen’s blonde roots are showing again, I see. Some people should just not have cars. So couldn’t you charge said bank balance an “Aggravation Tax?” ;o]

When I first got Mr Bill, I tried to find a locking gas cap for it and had to rely on my FRiend to send one from “Meralin.” There were none to be had in Vegas.

If it comes down to it, I know a good gas cap therapist who charges reasonable rates.
