My first suggestion is to duck & cover. Incomming!!!

As for gas cap release, look to lower left while sitting behind wheel. There is a button.

No manual?

If u DONT have a Manual it would be a little tricky to find. If u DONT have a Manual ---Get one !!!
Dont feel too bad ---I used to rent lots of cars almost on a weekly basis. I spent the whole weekend in Austin Tx in a Grand Prix with the windows rolled up cuz I couldnt find the dam switchs for the life of me. I was dropping it off at the Airport when I relized it had crank windows (1979) DOH !!

yah... its disspointing whten you go look for a car adn you know way way way more about the car than the sales man...so its very common to just tell the sales man "fack off, go wonder aroudn and come back when you are ready with a "real" quote" lol

Glad you found it. This car was a bit of a change for me also. This is the first car where the wipers were on their own stalk. Every other car has been a GM where the cruise, lights, and wipers were all on the left.

Congratulations on your purchase. Don't forget to check the tail light fluid level as suggested in this previous discussion thread:
