You all should try unbolting the entire door off of the car. Then holding the hinge, manually attempt to move it back and forth. If you feel heavy resistance then you should find some way of loosening it... sometimes the hinge is damaged by forcefully pulling on it, sometimes it's just in need of a litle lubrication...
But do check and see if the hinge move freely. other than that there's a lil trick i learned from doing it on th evo..
Get an old disc pad with the long piece of metal that sticks out of it that serves as the warning clip (the galants carry this)
Use a pliers or something to remove it. Then pull it apart till it forms a "V"
Use some sort of rubber or electrical tape and wrap both ends... to prevent scratching...
fit one end into the slot between the two bolts of the filler door... the "V" must face to the inside.
Then bolt the fuel door tightly and check it for tension.... it should pop right out...
butusually it's just the hinge that needs lubrication...

OR it could be that the clip that holds on the spring to the door is broken. In that case, use a small metal clip with a screw hole (like the ones that comes with speakers to screw it into sheet metal, and use that to attach it ti the door with a screw.
in any case, take a ten socket and screw our the door and see what going on. Might take you five minutes to fix it.
