Typically, most cars don't require a key at all to get to the gas tank. Some require one to push a button inside the car, for the cap to pop opne but it'd be very easy to pry it off, if you really wanted to get inside. My car doesn't have either - the gas tank cover just flips open, and you unscrew the gas cap to fill up. No keys or button-pushing required!
And, I realize gas is much more expensive in other parts of the world, but when it was $1.88 a year ago, and is $3.29 now ... when I'm at home, I drive about 20 miles each way to get to work (basically using a gallon of gas each way) - I haven't gotten a raise to help compensate for the jump in gas prices. So every time I work, it costs me over an hours worth of pay just for transportation. No, there isn't any better form of transportation I could take to get to work. The only other option is to call a cab and, well, that would be evern more expensive! My boss gets angry when she asks me to come in for a two or three hour shift and I say no ... really, it's just not worth it.
