Driving without your gas cap will not harm your engine. Driving without your gas cap will not cause you to lose fuel.

Can you clean a gas cap?
To clean it, use the following process: Start by spraying the area with a degreaser, leave it on for a few minutes, and proceed to rinse the area. For the gas cap, use a petroleum-based lubricant, scrub it, and then remove the solution.
Can bad gas cap cause stalling?

However, the most common causes for vehicle misfires and stalling include ignition problems, a bad fuel pump, electrical transmission issues, or a faulty air flow sensor.
Why does car wash keep water out of tank?
The car wash’s mechanism probably closed the flap. It’s not a service they generally offer, but it probably kept some water out of the tank. I’d still get some HEAT into the tank before driving any more. How do folks keep doing this? I’ll betcha this is a dozen times I’ve read the same question this year.
Where can I get a new gas cap?
You can get it at Autozone or Wal*Mart. If you go to Autozone, they’ll have your new gas cap too. thanks for replying so quickly!!
Why is there water in my gas tank?
My understanding is that a small amount of water in the gas tank from condensation is more or less normal. Gasoline and water are very slightly miscible and that’s enough to keep the water in the tank from building up over time.
