Quick question.  What side of your vehicle is your gas tank on (no peeking)?

I’ve been driving (legally) for 23 years now and I still forget and never remember which side of my vehicle the gas tank is on.  I always have to stick my head out the window or ask the other people that are in the vehicle with me.

Well, after getting a forwarded email regarding this matter from my mom this morning – I sure felt stupid!

Get this — When you look at your gas gage, you’ll see a small icon of a gas pump.  The handle of the gas pump will extend out on either the left or right side.  And…daaaaa…. if the handle extends to the left – your gas tank is on the left and vice versa.  See photo:

Can you believe this!?

No man, mechanic, auto dealership or drivers ed teacher ever told me this!
