Today I was about out of gas and could not get the door open to the gas cap.
I started the car and repeatedly pushed the button to open the door, but it
is jammed.  I tried to pry the door to the gas cap open, but it is stuck.
Anybody got any suggestions?  Thanks

There is usually a manual release in the trunk for the door. Also, rather
than pulling or prying on the door, try pushing on it or whacking it.

Yoko Onos' former driver tried to extort $2M from her, threating to
"release embarassing recordings...". What, he has a copy of her album?

My nephew figured it out.  The panel on the right side of the trunk was
released which allowed us to see the white release module that allows the
gas door to open.  On the front side of the small white box is a metal teeth
mechanism that can be pulled out of the white box disengaging the door.  Now
I can put gas in my car.
