WHO KNEW THIS???
I have been driving for nearly 26 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?
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!
Don't feel dumb, just go out and share the world's best kept auto secret with your friends.

That is a great tip. I'll have to check it out in my car to see if it is true.
For the longest time I thought the gas cap side was on the side in which the driver would be on. IE: American cars would have it on the driver side and Japanese cars would have it on the passenger side. That theory held true in my head for many years, until I got a new car.
Thanks Jamwes for your comment. I have been driving for many years. But, I also didn't know about this at all until i read this email. So it's good to check it out! :)
