Does the vehicle have an release inside the cabin or is it a push-to-release like the Fit (at least my 2010)?
In either case, if there is a chance the fuel door is frozen shut warm water is the answer. Obviously followed by drying before re-closing the door.
If the fuel door is released from inside the cabin, the mechanism or cable could be frozen, rusted, or broken. Does the release lever have any resistance? No resistance suggests a broken mechanism or cable. Extreme resistance or no movement suggests a frozen or rusted mechanism or cable.
