Default Sticky gas cap

Anyone else having any trouble with a sticking gas cap? Mine feels like it requires FAR too much effort just to get it open. I'm afraid that I'll end up breaking off my key in it one day.

Most lock lubricants are just graphite powder in a plastic tube.

It's convenient, but you can over use is since it comes out of the tube
really easy. I just us a #2 pencil.
