I'm not sure if this is true but it makes sense and is helpful if correct (and it seems to be, at least on my car):
WHO KNEW THIS??? I have been driving for nearly 60yrs...
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. It is that simple!

Holy shit! That's so simple, but why was it never mentioned before? And who would have thought to look, have you seen the way some people drive?
And what about all those cars we both know from the Sixties where the gas caps were hidden behind the rear license plate?
I smell worthless (but fun) conspiracy.
U are one hellofa young looking dude for 75...I believe you get a licence at 15/16...at seventy=five I wont look in mirror anymore....must have good genes.
You? 75 yrs old?? No way! You don't look a day over 45!!
Were you not talking about driving in the 1960's..... and not for 60 years!
It's generally reliable, but not foolproof however. My 2008 Escape has the filler cap on the left, the handle on the right, and a little arrow pointing left - mixed messages.
I also recently had a rental car (don't remember the make now) that was on the wrong side.
But if you're a betting person, the odds are that it's right (correct).
Rule doesn't work for my Honda Odyssey.
