I noticed that theres sand inside the gas door of my GT. Even when I wipe it away, next time I get gas it's back. This is the same in my mom's 06 GT.

WEIRD. Anyone know?

I think they all have some sort of debris find their way inside. If it seems excessive, check to see if the fuel door is flush with the body? As long as your gas cap isnt letting sand in, I wouldnt worry about it
 
One thing I really worried about my gas tanks, all my import car gas door is lock, but american car gas door alway open ( that stupid ), is their any way to get gas cap look or gas door lock ? and where can I get one ? thanks

Well, let's eliminate the obvious. You don't live near the beach, do you ?

Second, all the lawn maintenance guys use the very high-powered leaf blowers nowadays. Could they be using their equipment close to your car ?

Try parking the car in different spots than the usual ?

My car gets coated with dirt/sand/mung after the lawn crews come by ...
