What I was talking about is an AUTOMATIC lock-- not a locking gas cap. If
installed, when you lock the car externally (and your alarm chirp sounds),
or while you're in your car and you hit the "lock doors" button on the
front panel, your gas cap should be locked, as well as your trunk and doors.

As Erik pointed out this behavior was deleted from the '97 models, but is
apparently easy to add again.
