I don't get a beep when my top is down when locking. For me it has always been the center console, if I get a beep I unlock the car, and then open and re-close the center console, and then it is good.

I'm not sure where the microswitch is for the gas cap but I guess if gas got sloshed on it it could have degraded and now failing to report that the tank is locked. Or some gas got on the servo or whatever it is that locks the gas tank when the car is lock.

As a test, you could try to open the gas cover after you have locked the car to see if it indeed did lock.

But the first test I would try is to check the doors, front and rear trunk, and especially the center console, to make sure they are securely latched.
