My grandfather used to own a 1989 Jeep Wrangler, that has the gas cap behind
the license plate, that swings down to allow for access. He bought a gadget
from a Jeep parts and accessories catalog that fastens to the license plate
holder, and when it was swung down, a little rod would pop up and keep the
holder  out of the way when refueling. The last I saw, it is still
available for about $25.00, and I know I want one...
