What side of the car is the gas tank on?

I got this email from Patti, but have received it in the past. I didn't realize how many people didn't know this, then again I'm around cars all the time. This does not apply to certain makes and older model cars, but for the most part, it will work for you.I have been driving for nearly 30 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 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 gas gauge, you will see a small icon of a gas pump which will tell you which side it’s on. Sometimes, it’s as simple as that.
