Not sure if this is common knowledge or not. Why YSK it’ll save you the guessing game of which side your gas tank is on when pulling up to a gas station.
Yeah, but which of the two arrows though? The yellow one pointing to the right, or the white pointing to the left?
psst… the little white one. We don’t judge.
Technically, the gas tank is pretty much always in the middle
My car has this, but a car I’ve recently rented didn’t. It was fun pulling up to the gas pump having no idea what side the tank was on and noticing there wasn’t any arrows.
I learned this way too late in life.
This is great until you get used to it. I started relying on looking down at that instead of remembering which side of the car the tank was located on. I got a new car recently that doesn’t have this indicator and I kept parking on the wrong side of the station because it wasn’t there and I guessed.
Get a little sticker (if you can fit it) of an arrow to point the side you need
Good suggestion but it’s lease thankfully. I don’t like the car I just needed a SUV to fit my wheelchair. I don’t need the chair anymore so once I ride out the term I’m getting a plug in hybrid or an EV.
Sound like a big upgrade, congrats on your recovery!
Its pretty funny - I learned this the last 2 years I was to own a gas operated car. I had always struggled with certain models on which side the gas tank was and would embarrassingly have to switch stalls when I came out to realize I was on the wrong side.
Now I just have to remember what side my charging port is on, passengers get the zap is how I remember
LOL, same here. Most of the time I knew, but in a rental car or something, I could never remember…
My charging port is in the front center now–and this is causing me problems with some street chargers because I can’t get the cable far enough over. There’s no arrow for that…
Ohh yeah that can be such a pain to maneuver on a street, that really sucks and I didn’t think about that pain point with front charging cars! A leaf?
Yah, Leaf 2016 model. I got ticketed by the city for parking the wrong direction. I tried to explain to them that they chose to site the charger in a way that caused this problem, but they said they didn’t care and don’t do it…
