I just finished my first thousand miles. I didn't get the mileage I was hoping for but it's a lot better than the gass guzzler I used to drive. 24.5 MPG, 70% stop and go, including significant hills, 30% freeway, 65MPH, A/C almost always on, fairly light foot. Auto trans.

Re: How To: Disable the Seatbelt Beep - '05 and up only! (BlueCrush)

Wow thanks! My dogs always ride in back but the groceries and the laundry sometimes ride in the passenger seat, and they always forget to fasten the belt. I'll try it next time I get groceries.Donna

Thanks for the picture. That's exactly what mine looks like. But when I watch as I close the door it never seems to get close to anything that would make it pop open.But that's OK, I have a temporary fix with my piece of string that allows me to pull on the latch and open the door. I'll make them fi...

I have a piece of black metal that is probably it. One side is attached to the door and the other isn't attached to anything. I need to get a shop manual so I can figure out what's what.

"I would bet that you're missing the spring. My spring pops out all the time and then you can no longer use self service gas because you need to have someone at the gas door to open it, while you pull up on the lever. Normally we notice the spring pop out and put it right back in, but sometimes...

Thanks for your concern

Oh, no question, I'll make them fix it. But now that I have filled the tank it's no longer an emergency and I can take it in at my convenience and have them fix that and a couple of other minor things. I'd have run out of gas and been stranded by Tuesday afternoon if I hadn't been able to get it ope...

I've seen a Toyota Matrix parked across the street. I think I'll go knock on their door and ask if I can see how it's supposed to work before I get forceful with mine. ... laterI went over there and they showed me how theirs worked.

Can't open gas filler door

I got my new Vibe last week, with a full tank. Today I wanted to put gas in it for the first time. I pulled up on the opener lever and it moved easily but the door didn't open. I tried it with the key turned off and on. Neither worked. The manual doesn't say anything about there being a trick to it....
