What's the widget in the petrol cap ?

I was polishing my Vectra earlier this evening and lifted the petrol
filler flap to clean round the edge and noticed a little plastic thing
clipped to the underside of the flap. I've managed to overlook this
every time I've been to the petrol station it's like a plastic key
of some sort, with a cross section head. Any idea what it's for ?

 

It's for undoing the Tyre valve caps without getting your hands dirty!

caps. the cross section is for holding in your hand when the other end is
pushed in the valve cap.
Hope it helps?

It's the only part of the car that impressed Jeremy Clarkson when he first
road tested the 'new' Vectra!

For removing the tyre valve cap.

When the Vecyy was introduced, Jeremy Clarkson spent 10 minutes of prime TV
time ridiculing it, when all I wanted to see on the program (I think he was
still with top gear at the time) was a bit about the car ....

 

Thanks for that - had always wondered about that meself but didn't fancy
asking in case I looked dumb ...
