Fuel Cap Switched

Ok, so I am a bit of a bonehead for not noticing this sooner. Since I don't drive my car that often, there is no need for a fill up. This weekend was the exception. Had to fill up in Long Beach after giving my car a good run on the freeway since there was no traffic at the time. And when it came time to put the fuel cap back, it was too big!!

Turns out, from my assumption since I bought a new one for the smog check before, that the guy that tested the gas cap, switched it out with a piece of crap one from another car. So just a word of warning, check your fuel caps to make sure they are the correct ones and not one from another car that probably didn't pass.
