I'd even settle for a simple cable actuated fuel door release that many economy cars have so that it couldn't be accessed by anyone. Looking at the mechanism though, I think it's similar to several other GM cars where you push in on the fuel door to release it (no locking feature).

From a 2014 XTS, same exact system:

Thanks! Hopefully that means it's already well sorted out and wouldn't leak during a hard left turn w/ full tank.

If doesn't lock somehow it will definitely be a miss for overseas markets.

That's not possible. The fill tube has a check valve at the end in the tank.

this was a big complaint of mine as the gas door/cap are so cheap on the gen5

My 13 Mustang fuel door doesn't lock, but Ford sells an accessory for a lock/key.

This is 2015. I find it incomprehensible that any new car sold today doesn't have some design of locking gas cap or door standard. Honda and Toyota has had a remote lock release standard on all their cars since the late 1970s.

Some people sweat the silliest things. Who really cares? That one in a million chance someone is going to steal or tamper with your gas? Well guess what, all locks do is keep your friends out.

That's not the point. You can say the same thing about power windows or Bluetooth or air conditioning.

It's a feature that in 2015 should be standard on all cars.

That's fine. My point is that it's stupid for it to lock and unlock whenever doors lock/unlock. That's what I gathered he stated, that the fuel door would lock/unlock whenever you do the equivalent for your car doors.

Put a lever or a button inside of the damn car for the fuel door.

No, that's completely different You're throwing a fit about the possibility of not having a locking gas cap. For crying out loud, don't be a Sally. They are working very hard on making this the supreme pony/ muscle car while still hitting the same or similar price point as lesser cars. Some relatively pointless features may need to be cut and lets hope it's not AC or power windows so you can have a flippin locking gas cap.

[RenegadeXR]

I agree, there's really no strong argument at this point for not having a locking fuel door. It's definitely not cost prohibitive because it is on many economy cars, as others already pointed out. I agree if somebody is determined enough, they can get access, but you can apply that same logic to your trunk, doors, or hood. It just decreases the odds of somebody poking around where they shouldn't be.

You're being pompous, I'm talking common sense. I know it's not a major feature but at the same time most companies have standard locking doors.

You talk about GM building the best car they can....... And yet defend the lack of a simple cheap feature that most companies have today.

Who's being a Sally?

[OldSchool]

I have a 2014 Corvette, and the gas cap pictured for the new Camaro looks just like the one I have. It is locked unless you unlock the doors. Only time my doors are unlocked is when someone is getting in or out - otherwise I keep them locked (especially since I don't need to remove a key or key fob to lock or unlock the doors).

[SPARTAN sui]

Hmm, I'm torn, I currently have a sunroof, I'm really not sure if I want one on my next Camaro now. It looks great with the sunroof, even if it's the same type as the 5th gen. I love the aggressive look of the reverse Mohawk, but this still looks great.
