How do you open the gas tank on a 2017 Lexus NX200T?
We recently purchased a used Lexus and it’s the first luxury vehicle we’ve ever owned. The gas is getting low, though, and when I stopped to refuel, I couldn’t figure out how to open the fuel tank door. How do you open the gas tank on a Lexus NX200T from 2017?

.

A gentle press should be enough to cause the fuel tank door to spring open slightly. Then, you can manually open it the rest of the way and unscrew the gas cap.

. For your car, Lexus recommends premium unleaded. With gas prices at an all-time high, premium gas may be too expensive. For that reason, make sure to check out our tips for saving money on gas
