I had a difficult time taking the cap of the other day. It would turn but not release. I had to mess with it for awhile before I could finally get it off. Anyone else have issues with it?

Mazda has an updated fuel cap. The original caps are very easy to miss align
and cross thread when installing. Some have broken off in half,requiring the
use of channel locks to remove the base.
 
Shouldn't happen in a 2008 though, maybe it was just on wrong if the problem keeps up take it to the dealer and ask for a new cap.
