My guess is no. However it could be dangerous as gas could spill out on turns and possibly combust if it were sparked or came in contact with a hot exhaust pipe. Yes. The fuel system is operating in a positive pressure dynamic. Not having your gas cap secured, does not allow the fuel pump to fully pressurize the system, thusly NOT ALLOWING THE SYSTEM TO WORK AT DESIGNED EFFECIENCY.

How much money can you save by inflating your tires properly?

Fuel economy is decreased by underinflated tires as well as the tire life is decreased. So you could probably see a savings of 5-10% in some cases @ 35 psi on fuel economy and save yourself the price of a set of 4 tires. Fuel economy is also affected by your driving style. Speeding, fast starts/fast stops and general nasty driving habits will kill your fuel economy really fast. Slower & steady with easier take offs from the stops will increase fuel economy.
