This has not come up lately, so I thought I’d post a cautionary note.

Go out in the garage right now and examine the hinge on the gas filler door for cracks. It does happen, and, if you lose the door while driving, it will be a PITA: buy a door and hinge, and get it painted to match the car, rather than preemptively replacing the hinge..
