Locking gas cap at checker or similar auto parts store. Wiring in a solenoid would require way to much time, money, effort, and fabrication. Just go to the parts store.

I don't think most people who don't own HHR's could figure out how to open it. It gives the appearance that there must be a remote cable release, as there is no knob or handle on the door itself. Many newer cars have a door that look the same.

You could easily take your gas cap into the store (remove the lanyard), and match up the threads to a locking model.

Yeah sometimes when I get refuled in NJ the gas guys question me about poping open the latch from a button and I have to explain that they must press the door in to open. (Only NJ and OR are states that pump the gas for you)

Most any reputable auto parts store should have a locking gas cap. If not, try www.autotrucktoys.com They may have one

Thanks everyone, when I did the test drive and walk around I did think that it had an inside release, so other probably will too.
