I rented a beautiful Cadillac one time (2019) for a long trip (It was my birthday and the car rental company I did all my biz with upgraded me for no extra charge as a "thank you"). First time i had to fill the gas tank I couldn't figure out how to open the hatch. Thought I might have to call 1-800-cad-ilac to ask how to do it but luckily the manual was in a rear door pocket. Now you would figure "How to put fuel in your car" would be somewhere in the first 5 pages, right? Nope, buried on page 260 (of a 300 page manual) was the instructions, and the command to use only PREMIUM fuel in that car ( so much for a free upgrade ).
Wanna know how to put fuel in a Cadillac? Go to the fuel hatch, click the key fob twice to unlock all the doors, then just TOUCH the little door and is swings open on it's own.
