I tried one of the Cooling System Technologies 5504 locking fuel caps from Autozone. This is going to sound insane, but I swear my HHR felt like it was just a little bit sluggish after putting this cap on. So today I put the factory fuel cap back on and the perceived sluggishness is gone. No CEL was illuminated on the dash by the 5504. But I have to wonder if it didn't jibe just right with the evaporative emissions system or something.

Check Engine Light.
He's saying that he didn't get an error, but thought there might have been a problem anyhow, because the engine seemed less responsive.

Couldn`t figure that one out...
But a CEL pretty much only comes on when the engine isn`t running, and some one had previously said (not this thread) there was a low power read-out on the DIC, that`s why I went to the manual to get clarification.
And it was 6:15am, still drinking wake-up juice...Sorry Guys.

That is the one I use (Wal-Mart version) and I saw absolutely no difference in the car. It does sound insane. But YMMV.
