Answer 2

Some cars have screens in them and some don't. I remember cars in the 70's with screens and some cars today don't have them.
The trouble is that a screen can become plugged and prevent you from putting gas in your car, or worse cause gas to spurt out when you gas up.
The best idea is the lockable gas cap door. As long as that little cable that operates it doesn't bind up or break, it works the best.
