What Side Do You Fill Your Car On?

Quick question, what side of your car is your gas tank?

If you are anything like me, you probably can't remember right away. My solution is to uncomfortably stick my head out the window, strain my neck and look. If you don't do this in your own car, you definitely have done it in a borrowed or rental car.

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 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. It is that simple!

Gas tanks on the right side of the car are there for safety reasons. Car makers that put them on the left have made a mistake. The idea is that if you run out of gas and are on the shoulder, you don't need to stand in traffic to refill your tank. A car with the gas on the right is a safer car.
