Have you ever pulled up to the gas station and thought "Uhhh....wait--what side is my tank on again?" Everyone has done it. Don't kid yourself. Whether it's in your own car or you were driving someone else's car, we've all had one of those little brain farts. This happened to me last summer when I bought a new car. I was going for a spin with my brother and realized that I needed to fill up. Having never put gas in the car before, I had a pretty legitimate excuse to not know which side to pull up to. So what do we all do? Try to see if we can tell by looking in one of the side mirrors. If that doesn't work, you gotta open the door and lean out to check. I have news for you! You will never have to do that ever again!
You know where the little picture of a gas pump is in your dash next to the gas gauge? There is a little triangle/arrow pointing to the side that your gas tank is on. Yeah. It's that simple. Maybe this is something everyone has known for years (I doubt that because I see confused people at the gas station all the time!) but I felt like it was something that needed to be brought to light.
As you can see in this picture, the tank is on the RIGHT side in this car...
I hope I have made a difference in the world now.
