Maplebones brought this up in another post.
I'm getting ratty gas mileage in my 940 and it could be that "Midnight
Auto Supply" has been active in my driveway.
Maybe the ratty mileage is from worn hubs? I'll find out this summer about that.

Stant makes the standard OE locking fuel cap # 10591

Stant offers a "pre release" cap that lets the pressure out when you insert the key. That's #10501 This cap has a hinged cover for the keyhole that sounds good for the salt bath cars get here in the winter.

Stant has a nice online website https://stant.mypartfinder.com/
Check out the long cross reference parts list.
Volvo uses the same cap it seems for the RWD 200 series on through the AWD S70
and beyond.

I found the Stant 10501 at Ebay for under $15 shipped.
Autozone has a pair of no name caps for $12.99, maybe made in China?

The official sales pitch from Stant is that a faulty/worn fuel cap can allow up to 30 gallons of gasoline to evaporate in one year, yikes!
