Could just be the cap is loos or cross threaded.

Where in Brick are you located? I'm off Burnt Tavern Road.

Yeah, you can get a new gas cap from Autozone for a few bucks to see if that solves the problem.

+1 had a check engine light on for the same problem. The spring inside mine got messed up. Also make sure the filler neck gromet isnt torn.
