I don't actually leave it on E, burn through pumps faster. I do however leave my truck unlocked all the time. Nothing in it worth stealing, and would rather have them rummage through a bunch of receipts and a water bottle, then break a window, to rummage through receipts and a water bottle.

Well thieves are stupid anyways I got my rig broken into a while back, smashed the drivers side window, guess they didnt evn try to see if it was unlocked... Which it was..

97+ is plastic or vinyl or something, not metal though....
