My friend lent me their car for a few days while I’m moving, and I want to make sure I return it with a full tank of gas—but I don’t know how! How do I open the gas tank on a 2015 Volkswagen Jetta?

You can open the gas tank on a 2015
Volkswagen Jetta
by unlocking the car and gently pressing on the door of the gas tank. It should gently pop open, and then you’re good to go! Make sure that you’ve unlocked the doors, though—otherwise it won’t budge.
But before you head to the gas station, you might want to check with your friend and see what type of gas their Jetta needs. Some 2015 Volkswagen Jettas need premium fuel with a
high octane rating
while some can do fine with regular gas.
If your friend’s car needs premium gas, make sure to stick with that—otherwise, you might be thanking them with the gift of reduced performance and
engine knocks
. And not only is that uncool, but it also makes it highly unlikely they’ll ever loan you their car again!
