ok so I finally got around to checking my Mazda.. yeah not the case in my car. Would be a great idea though for someone to actually do this in their cars wouldn't it.. knew it was too easy. Let me know if it is the case in your car, maybe it depends on the make???

Ha who knew - so my friend Anne sent me an email this AM reading -
'Have you ever rented or borrowed a car and when arriving at the gas station wondered...mmm, which side is the gas filler cap? My normal solution was to stick my head out the window, strain my neck and look, try to see in the side mirrors or even get out of the car! Well ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to share with you my little secret so you will no longer look like Ace Ventura on your way to the gas station or put your neck at risk of discomfort or injury.If you look at your ga s gauge, you will see a small icon of a gas pump?The handle of the gas pump will extend out on either the left or right side of the gas pump?If your tank is on the left, the handle will be on the left? If your tank is on the right, the handle will be on the right (see photo). It is that simple'

I am on my way to the Suburban to check that out. Is it really that freakin' easy? All these years of rolling down a window even in the rainiest of whether to stretch my neck out a window to see....
Love it.
in my mustang, it IS that easy! below my spedometer, it says "FUEL DOOR" with and arrow pointing to the right!... my car is a '01, and i STILL look at that at times when i get gas!
They even somestimes have an arrow pointing to which side the gas tank is on.
