I enjoy Alton Brown on the Food Network. He says don't buy a kitchen appliance or utensil that has only one useful function. Okay, I can think of 2 uses of an extra-fuel cap in my plane....replace a cap or chuck it at a bear as I'm walking out from an off airport landing. Tape on the other hand, lots of uses. I have taped shut my leaky naca vents this winter, used it as a gust lock for my rudder pedals in a pinch, held my broken gas cap, and I can think of 100 more I haven't needed yet such as tape the bear's mouth shut that is trying to eat me.
