Now that really is a worthless mod, given that you have to get out of the car to put the petrol in anyway. Although I admit my V8 Aston Volante had exactly that feature (solenoid operated) and it was rather neat when you hit the switch and the two filler flaps popped open. Funny thing is, when I first bought the car, I went to put petrol in it and I couldn't find the release switch - it was in the glove box!

BUT, I wouldn't dream of retrofitting such a feature.
