Why didn't they add a capless gas cap?

I for one, prefer a manual fuel cap. I feel more connected to the car when I fuel up. It requires me to do more work, but there're just something

I for one, prefer a manual fuel cap. I feel more connected to the car when I fuel up. It requires me to do more work, but there're just something about it. I guess I just love the clicks with every turn. Some say it's a dying option and there's a learning curve, but it's an awesome experience when you finally get the clicks perfectly with every fill up. This automatic thing is pure garbage. It takes the fun out of filling up. Sure it's easier to use and learn, but where's the soul?

PS, Real men use gas caps. Cap less gas caps are for puss*es.
