Gas Door Stuck
I got to the gas station on empty of course, and hit the button and nothing. Almost ran outta gas trying to get home, but I did creep home. What the heck should I do? Should I try prying on the door, don't wanna scratch or break anything. Need help soon Thanks, Josh

Emergency Release
Did you try pulling the emergency release wire inside your hatch? I had to use this once when I got my car back from the dealership. The technician had pulled the center console out to fix my turn signal problem (emergency flasher switch). When he put it back together he forgot to hook up the wire to the fuel release button.

haha thanks guys, I just found it, but my impatient dumbass thought it would be smart to just pry on it a little, and guess? snap, cracked a piece of the door. CONCLUSION TO ALL: be patient until you listen to what these guys have to say, before being a bull in a china shop, thanks again guys appreciate it

Not laughing at you or what you did, just about the "be patient:" part. It's the hardest thing for me to do.
