Carelessness...

You guys wouldn't believe it but yours truly here forgot to put back the fuel cap after pumping petrol yesterday morning. Happily drove off and headed to Barcamp in the morning. I did get a funny feeling but couldn't really tell what it was until I decided to check and found that the fuel cap is missing.

Panic!!!

Headed to Tesco and they had replacement caps selling for RM7.90. But I thought I'd want to get an original replacement. So I called up Perodua this morning and you wouldn't believe how much they're selling it for.

A whopping RM99.00 for a fuel cap! I told them no thanks. I'll find another one.

Called up the spare parts shop that I frequent nowadays and they had 2 versions. RM10.00 and RM32.00. So I opted for the more expensive one since it is of better quality.

That's a lesson to be learnt. Never pump petrol when you haven't gotten a good night's sleep.

Doesn't you fuel cap comes with a chain that is attached so that you don't misplace it?

Unfortunately there's no chain attached to the fuel cap :(
