How do you open the gas tank on a Mazda 3 2021?

My brother let me borrow his car to take a weekend skiing trip. I just pulled off the highway to get some gas, but I can’t figure out how to open the door to the gas tank. Can you tell me how to open a gas tank on a Mazda 3 2021?

Unlike some older versions of the Mazda 3, the 2021 model does not have a release lever inside the car. Instead, all you need to do is turn off the engine, step out of the car, and firmly press in the right-hand side of the gas tank door. Remember: the car doors must be unlocked for the gas tank lid/door to unlock.

When you borrow a car, you can’t just jump in, turn the key, and take off. It takes a few minutes to figure out how to adjust the seats and mirrors, and eventually, how to fill up the tank.
What if you could also find the perfect car insurance policy in a few minutes or less?
