I have a 2005 Civic, the gas door will only open by being popped from the inside so it's automatically locked. If you're hoping to have it locked from people that have already gained access to the interior of your car, you've got bigger problems.

^ i know what you mean

anyway...like when you get a valley parking. you know how you give them keys (spare) and you know how they can just open the gas door from inside and pour whatever they want in there. i just want it to be the same as the trunk...only the master key will be able to open it

Put a locking gas cap on it. They can open the door, but they won't be able to get into the tank.

i know what you mean...but mine doesn't lock - only my trunk that locks.

now i remember last year that it used to locked both trunk and gas door...but these guys from the dealerships told me that only the trunk can be lock and not the gas door...im confused
