WHO KNEW THIS???

I have been driving for many, many, many years. I would think I should have noticed the little secret on my dashboard that was staring me in the face the whole time, I didn't, and I bet you didn't either.

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 longe r 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 gas 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 below). It is that simple!

oh that one i didnt know, but also if you look at the gauge cluster there will be fuel door written out and then an arrow, the arrow points to the side the filler is on.

I don't think that's true. You'll see an arrow next to it on most cars. Some simply dont have anything.

I try to avoid lookin at my gas gauge or anything in that area... If I dont see it, it doesnt exist.
