(Gasp!) I Lied!
I didn’t mean to lie, and I sincerely apologize.When I printed Gas Tank Mystery Solved I believed what I was saying was true. It would be cool if it were true – but it’s not.
I didn’t even bother checking. It made such good sense, you know?
So when I hit the gas station yesterday, just for grins, I took a look at the little gas tank symbol, which looks EXACTLY like the one in the gas tank article. That would indicate my gas tank is on the right.
It is NOT on the right. It is on the left.
I was so embarrassed. I lied to you! I am so sorry! What it shows on your gas guage may NOT be where your tank is.
There is only one good thing. Kinan shared a tip from his Dad – pop your gas tank using the inside lever, and use your side view mirrors to see which side opens. Pretty easy, huh? and you still don’t have to get out of the car.

The price meter grabs our entire focus while fueling the car. In fact i too forgot about that whole thing! lol!
The side view mirror sounds nice(I’ll remember this!) 🙂
It is my fault , I forwarded the email without checking it. you did not lie.I am sorry. Hugs.
It’s alright 🙂 Would be cool though, wouldn’t it?
Joel – I leave the gas station with a grin, every time. I lived in Germany before coming here, where gas was close to $5/gallon. But I wish the gas tank indicator thing had been true.
Hayfa, sweetie, I wish you could have seen my face when I saw the tank handle on my indicator showing my tank on the wrong side. I couldn’t believe it! You would have been dying, laughing. It is such a good idea – why haven’t the auto manufacturers done it??? Hugs back atcha!
3baid – it is a great idea. I wish they would adopt it!
I mean more attention is given to the meter than the gas tank symbol while filling it. Gasoline price isn’t a problem here!
