3. Improvised Gas-Cap
Estimated New Cost: $78–$83*;
Estimated DIY Cost: $4.12*
The cost of a blank CD is $0.33, and a roll of Scotch tape costs $3.79, so the total cost of this do-it-yourself project is just over $4. Purchasing a new gas tank lid would cost between $78 and $83, so this is a more cost-effective option.

Then, suddenly, the gas tank cover vanished.
