The fuel door opens like this, on a 95 GLX:

1. Unlock all the doors. You should have a little rocker switch on 
your console that allows you to unlock all the doors. That will 
retract a little pin that keeps your fuel door locked. You can't just 
unlock your drivers door, all doors must be unlocked.

2. Then push on one end of the fuel door, which will allow the door 
to swing open. If you push and the pin is still in (that is it only 
opens about 1/8") then you need to unlock all your doors by "turning 
the key twice" in the door to unlock it.

With my keyless entry, it's a whiz. And if you get into the habit of 
unlocking your car doors with the rocker switch on the console, you 
won't have to go using your key in the door handle to unlock the gas 
door.

It really works well once you get the hang of it. 97 models and newer 
didn't have lockable doors, and I retrofitted the locking pin into my 
97 GLX. I have a comprehensive set of details on how to do this on 
97-99 A3 Jettas.
