Locking gas caps are available for a '98 Sebring, and is probably a good idea if you have kids or teens playing pranks on you (ie. put sand or syrup in your gas tank).

On my Ford Explorer , that is equipped with a locking gas cap , I turn and hold the key while I'm unscrewing the gas cap in order to remove it ( to install the cap I don't need the key , just screw it in place ( and in my case I wait until the cap makes a clicking noise )
