Not according to this girl:

 

On my RX330 I don't think it really "locks".

When I push the fuel door button it pops open.

However, I can see it's just a flimsy thin piece of metal for a locking tab that can probably be broken into with a pocket knife or screw driver pretty easily.

It looks more like a deterrent with a closed fuel door than being a locked fuel door. Lol

Add, duh, I guess it is locked if I have to break it to open the fuel door. Just not a very good lock tho... Lol

 

Try pushing on it when the doors are locked, it won't open. Of course if somebody really wants into your fuel door they will get in.

 

Yeah it's definitely latched shut from the inside behind the door.

No way to open it with fingers because it closes flush with surrounding body.

 

I like your set up the best. a small button that opens the door I’m not a fan of the door lock version

 

Thankfully in 2008 when Lexus facelifted the GS, they removed the trunk and gas door popper buttons from that inconvenient drop-down pod into a more easily accessible location.

 

oh wow, I never knew that they redesigned the button for the facelift

 

Nice!

Easy is how I like it! ​​​​​​​

 

I prefer not having to press a fuel door button. Now that the Pacifica has one (my gas Pacificas didn’t have buttons) I always forget to press it.

 

this is a little tacky to me


and especially if it’s a plastic door, the plastic feels cheap to me

 

It’s a fuel door…you just touch it with your finger and it opens…

 

but is the feeling of it. Some of them are really cheap. Plastic. And then another thing I don’t like is when the door is a circle rather than a square or rectangle

 

Neither of the fuel doors on my cars feel cheap.

 

Are they matching metal or painted plastic?

 

Yeah, I don't like that as much as my design.
