How do you open the gas tank on a 2020 Subaru Forester?

I’ve rented a 2020 Subaru Forester while me and my family spend a few days on vacation, but I can’t seem to open the gas tank (I have to fuel up soon). How do you open the gas tank on a 2020 Subaru Forester?

Rental cars can be tough to figure out, especially if it’s a brand you’ve never driven before. The 2020 Subaru Forester gas tank can be opened with the following steps:
  • Step one: while sitting in the driver’s seat, look to the left side of the floor to find the fuel door lever.
  • Step two: pull the fuel door lever up to release the fuel door.
  • Step three: exit your car and walk towards the rear of the right hand side of your car, where you’ll find the fuel door ajar.
  • Step four: unscrew the fuel cap to access the gas tank and fuel up as usual!
And that’s all there is to it! Keep in mind that the 2020 Forester has an EPA-estimated combined MPG of 29, meaning it can travel about 480 miles depending on your
Forester gas tank size
. Make sure you fuel up well before you expect your Forester’s fuel gauge to reach “E.”
If you fall in love with your Forester and decide to get a Subaru for your next car, keep in mind that
Subaru Forester insurance costs
are often very reasonable (and lower than the Subaru average) due to the car’s accessible price point, safety ratings, and more.
