Yes, but the newer fuel filler necks make it much harder to steal in MHO.

I don't think so because I track mileage with each fill up and would notice if the mpg's were significantly lower

Yes, but it was not recently. Oddly, it was back when gas was about a dollar per gallon.

Yes. Usually several times a year. Tis one of the reasons why I now like cars that I buy to have a gas flap lock system on them. They are not infallable but seem to reduce the frequency of theft a lot. However, if someone wants gas bad enough, they will even pry locking flaps open.
