Default 93 octane ONLY!!! warnings?

I was wondering if anyone has come up with a smooth way to indicate to anyone who might be putting gas in your car, that it requires 93 octane and using a lower octane could cause ka-boom noises (I'm referring to those of us with 93 octane tunes) Maybe something that you fit over the gas cap before you close the fuel door or something? I'm trying to think of something that won't look retarded. Any ideas? Pics if you got em. Thanks...

Maybe a label maker and attach the label to the inside of the fuel door. I am the only one who fills our tank, but in Oregon, it is a state law that the gas station guy does it.

Make your wife sign papers that she will only fill it with 93, and if she fills it with anything less, you throw out her favorite pair of shoes.

lol but I'm single and tell any woman I'm with all about the "93 only" deal...

yeah, but who looks at the inside of the fuel door? I'm thinking maybe something to go over the cap, or something that swings down in plain view when you open the filler door...

well a friend of mine ripped the 93octane decal off a fuel pump, and stuck it inside the door.

yeah I guess you could have someone make upa bigger version of that sticker, but maybe laminate it and have it swing down when you open the filler door, cause like I said, nobody really looks at the back of that door. Maybe the proper diameter tupperware burp-lid or coffee can top, with the sticker on it and just stuffed into the filler neck housing would work, just have to remember to "reinstall" it after filling up.

I am the ONLY person that drives my car let alone fills her up... Even still I told my gf 1,000,000 times that put in the HIGHEST GAS EVERY TIME...WITH NO EXCEPTIONS PERIOD... if she EVER drives my car!

When she gets in, she gets pissed like... [:@] I know I know 93 octane gas and I just . Kill 2 birds with one stone... you can pay back your gf/wife by annoying her to death with car stuff in exchange for all the times she's made you talk about your "feelings"[:'(] lol..
