You really do learn something new every day go figure LOL

WHO KNEW THIS???

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 kids, 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. Razz

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!

Go ahead go look ... I had to LMAOOOOOO

Guess an old dog CAN learn new tricks. And, OC, if my bedroom door handle turns to the right I'll be waiting for you on the right side of the bed--if it turns to the left, look for me on the left side! And SHHHHHHH, don't tell Barry!

P.S. and leave Missy at home too!

Thanks for the tip OC! I am the KING of Ace Venturing my head out the windows and straining my neck to find where the tank is!
Like Broxi said, I hope this isn't just for US cars.....I'm dying to check mine to make sure. I'll post back when I have.
