Lets say for argument sake that I'm losing a gallon a week. If I took off
the gas cap entirely, is it possible for that much to "evaporate"?

All,
The car is in a padlocked garage, with an older locking gas cap (and no
teenagers). That's why I'm so puzzled. There is no smell of gas in the
trunk,
and no sign of leakage (under the car or at the fuel pump).

Rather than looking for a new gas cap, I think you should be looking for a
guy with an Oklahoma credit card (a 3' long hose).
I have never heard of that amount of gas evaporating in a week even if the
cap is off. And the cap on your car had better be venting, or there will
be
problems.
