    You learn something every day!

    I have been driving for over 30 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 petrol station wondered ..mmm, which side is the petrol 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 petrol station or put your neck at risk of uncomfort or injury.

    If you look at your petrol gauge, you will see a small icon of a petrol pump. The handle of the petrol pump will extend out on either the left or right side of the petrol 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 photos). It is that simple!

        this is not true unfortunately. i checked 3 cars and all three have the handle coming out on the right and on two cars the gas cap is on the left and on one the cap is on the right. the car with the cap on the right has a small arrow pointing to the right.
