Where's the fuel filler door opener???

Having read this I've just popped into the garage and the filler flap is locked on my RRE. So, yeah, lockable clearly.

I do recall reading somewhere though when I had the LR4 that U.S. spec LR4's didn't have lockable fuel flaps/caps so could well be a U.S. spec thing!

No mine is the same as UK, the body fuel cap locks/unlocks with the doors. I was suggesting maybe the dealer was talking about an aftermarket lockable fuel cap

In the USA gas is subsidised so much and is so cheap that nobody needs to syphon it or steal it, unlike Europe and most other parts of the world where we have 140/150% taxes on it and then tax on the tax which means you either have to have a 2nd mortage even to fill the itsy bitsy 60ltr tank of an RRE or locks to keep that precious liquid from being removed by ne'erdo wells

I went to the dealer early this morning and I was able to open the gas filler doors of some of the Land Rovers (including Evoque) parked on their yard. So, yes, it's a US thing - not only mine.

Turns out there are indeed two versions of the fuel filler compartment, one with and one without central locking. The difference is cost between the two is about £7 - as spare parts - so it's not clear why they would be interested in shipping a car without. May be it's a cultural thing of what we're used to.

I was more concerned about someone filling in my tank with H2O (or sewer) and therefore damaging my car rather than stealing the (CH3)3CCH2CH(CH3)2 from my car.

This is the first car that I've ever seen that doesn't lock the gas door. I guess I just need to get used to this new culture - 'openness'.
