I left my gas cap at the gas station, and now it feels like I have more power.
Is that possible?
Also, are there a lot of dangers with stuff like condensation?

yes you shouldn't drive with the gas cap off. Your car will eventually throw a code. It needs the pressure in the gas tank cause gas tanks are closed loop systems and helps the fuel pump do its job. also debris will get in and even rain causing the fuel filter to clog up. You will also lose mpg on your car riding without one.

Lol. Plus One on the fuel filter change.
That wire broke so I had laid it upside down on my trunk.
I can't remember how I broke it. Probably trying to finegle it under a gas handle that doesn't have the automatic catch so you don't have to hold it while pumping. Who knows.
I really thought I noticed more power though haha. I thought maybe that air was causing the pressure to go up, but I realize now that it probably loses pressure. There is a metal door though, keeping some debris out at least.
Phister does your name have anything to do with 13F MOS?

Thats one expensive gas cap.
I put new gasket, only about $2-3 on mine to
esnure passing smog. They test the seal.
