Opening a gas tank on a Chevy Malibu can be easy if you know what’s up. First, find that gas door. It’s usually on the driver’s side or behind the rear wheel well. When I was learning, I first looked for the button or lever. Some models have a button you push with your elbow, and others a kind of handle you pull.
Always remember to insert your key into the ignition and turn it to the “On” position before doing anything. This is super important. Once done, press the button or pull the lever and it should pop right open. Ugh, I once tried just pulling without the key on and it didn’t work 
.
Some folks have mentioned theirs opens with a key, but mine didn’t. If yours is like that, use it inside the keyhole to unlock manually. And never force it! If you feel any resistance, stop and check if your key is in the right slot. Want to avoid damaging the door or lock. Anybody find a hidden trick you just gotta share?

Try it, and you’ll see it’s not rocket science!
