Automaker puts gas cap on the passenger's side, not the driver's side

If only there was a little arrow on your instrument cluster showing you what side it was on

Fucking pontiac. Every time I pump gas in my '79 T/A I have to park like a douche.

Neither of my cars have that

>more useless shit to clutter up the dashboard

The arrow is right next on the goddamn fuel pump icon on the instrument cluster

retard, that arrow is standard on pretty much all cars post 2000

You drive on the side of the road opposite the drivers side. and park similarly

Why would that matter unless you lived in some cuck state where you can't pump your own gas?

What kind of fagot drives a post 2000 car

>post 2000
>driving literal shit

Forget to turn your steering wheel while you are driving down a canyon

KYS

On cars that are geared more for the euro or japanese market it's on the passenger side. Murrican cars almost always have it on the drivers side.

the same kind of faggot that drives a post 90s car

Nah my new car doesn't have it because it's simplistic not overly complicated and cluttered like your shitboxes.

I'm not a pleb that needs to be reminded where his fuel cap is or when I need to wipe my ass

Newer Fords don't
They have their gas cap on the passenger side

Same my new american car has it on the passenger side.

>newer fords
>AMERICAN MADE

im laffin Ford=made in mexico by jose

>pop it before you get to the gas station
>look in your mirrors.

>He has an engine

>Why not both

>car runs on gas

So you can get out without fear of dinging your door on the pumps. It's far superior to driver side gas cap.

Best setup is rear center, though. You can literally park on either side since it does not matter.

>automaker puts the gas cap under the back seat

>rear ended by texting cunt
>gas pouring from broken filler neck
>get burned alive while texting cunt takes a selfy. #Isurvived

You drive a scooter?

woah

didn't realize this :)

>Fuel pump
>Nah

Most euro ars have it on a passenger side and it's the only correct way if you live in a LHD country. When you park a car, you do it close to the right side of the road. It's natural to you that you don't park close to the left side of the road.
On the top of that you can park closer to the pump than if you had a cap from a drivers side, because in that case you couldn't open the door.

>not having it in the center
>having to leave your vehicle to fill up

Mustangs have been on the passenger side since at least the foxbody.

Thats fucking irrelevant you still have a 50 50 shot of being able to merely pull in and pump

Always free pumps for passenger side masterrace

Because it's on the drivers side in japan.

fellow WYfag?

What direction is the needle facing. That will tell you what side the gas cap is on without a little arrow. Some manufactures do it this way instead.

Why the fuck would any retard run their car so far out of gas to the point to where they need to refuel it on the side of the fucking road

>driver side master race

>DD a car for years
>pull into gas station
>suddenly forget which side the cap is on
>panic
>look at gas meter for the arrow
>no arrow

Best place for gas cap is passenger side front. Although I always accidentally try to put gas there when I'm in the daily

>not installing pre-filled gasoline cartridges on your injector rails like printer ink
It's so convenient, you idiots don't know what you're missing

>running out of fuel
>ever
how does it feel to be a pleb

>he doesn't have a nuclear powered car
Top jej

this just happened to me
luckily the hose reaches all the way around to either side and with some trickery you can get it so the hose doesn't touch the bodywork

>never watched Roadkill
Not everyone has a pussymobile with a tiny 4cyl, soft interior, and gas gauge. Some people drive real man cars

jokes on you i have 3 cylinders

I forgot, when did they run out of gas?

>doesn't have a gas gauge
what kind of shitty car do you have?
the most basic car I have doesn't have creature comforts like ABS, power steering, airbags, seatbelts, windscreen wipers, water cooling, seats that are more than half an inch thick or a roof, but it still has a fuel gauge

Pretty much every episode that they go on any kind of road trip

It has a fuel gauge, it just doesn't work

Are you me xD

Basicly me, except for one time where I spilled spaghetti everywhere

>DD a car for years
>pull into gas station

never showed myself there since, now I have to go to the next town to fuel up

clinically retarded. thanks for the laugh

I actually felt like a genius until I realised what I had done.

feels bad

I recently did something only slightly more embarrassing.

>borrow mother's car
>decide to fill the tank for her
>it's a TDI so have to pick a diesel station (not a lot of options in my town

>yelled fuck as loud as I could
>kicked the pump
>jumped in my mother's car and chirped the tires leaving the station.

I wish the station exploded killing me and everyone who witnessed that.

Atleast you didn't hit a garbage can

gave my car a small scratch

>automaker offers a stripper version of a car

Based as fuck desu senpai

If your fuel cap is on the RIGHT HAND SIDE.. it's because the car was made to be RIGHT HAND DRIVE.

In Australia we don't have this problem unless youre a fucking idiot and buy something shitty like a Jeep which are clearly meant to be left hand drive.

It's almost a good indicator of a well made car.. if it's on the right hand side, it's more likely Japanese made and therefore reliable. If it's left hand side you know it's made by rednecks in burgerland.

>filling your own gas
Hah what a pleb

>If your fuel cap is on the RIGHT HAND SIDE.. it's because the car was made to be RIGHT HAND DRIVE.

>car was made to be RHD
>barely a 1/3 of the world using RHD vehicles, most of which are shithole islands

>all my Japanese vehicles have filled on the left side
>my German vehicles fill on the right side

2/10 because I responded and you're a fucking idiot.

>gas cap in front of crotch

neck your snowflake selves

No it isn't. The gas filler is more commonly located on the drivers side.

I dont have a picture but 2nd gen Camaros have the filler in-between the tail lights/turn signals.
It's literally the cars asshole.

I have a RHD japanese car and the fuel hose is on the right side of the picture on the gauge but the gas cap is on the left (passenger side)

>tfw gas cap on both sides
Pickup truck masterrace

Does BMW make really good bikes? I see the cops around here use BMW. Not sure how standard that is.

>tfw gas cap on back under license plate.

Opposite side of the exhaust pipe Mr. Grand Autismo

Nyes, until they work
The old ones are good, but really expensive and not so powerful
The new ones can last a lifetime if you pamper the tranny

>Automaker puts gas cap behind the rear licence plate.

>Aussie falcons have them on the left hand side

You fuckin druggo

The fuel filler is always on the opposite side to the exhaust pipes fuckheads.

Most manufacturers just put it wherever according to how they laid out the exhaust. Maybe when they market a car to the Americans they make an effort to put it on the left side for those lazy fucks.
Otherwise, no one cares except autistic fagg/o/ts

>made in mexico
But there's plants in Canada???????

Then go off miles you fucking retard. Jesus christ.

My two cars are different.

Protip: the little triangle next to the pump symbol on the dash points to the side of the car the hole is on.

i prefer gas cap on the left, but as someone who drives rentals frequently (particularly GMs) I'm used to having it on either side and needing to check the dash sometimes to verify as I pull up to the gas station nearest the airport. it's not a huge fucking deal.

having it on the driver side in a LHD country is fucking convenient though, since you don't have to walk around either the front or back of the car, especially in colder weather.

>getting back in the car, static risk, blah
If you have floor mats that aren't fabric and leather seats the risk of static buildup is very low. you can also touch a piece of unpainted metal as you get out of the car to return to the pump.

Honestly had tears in my eyes laffin at this autism

>hit a garbage can when i drove off

So real question: Aren't fuel hoses not long enough to reach around your car where you live? (I assume most of you are Americans)

All the pumps I filled up at in Europe (Belgium, France, Germany, Italy and Netherlands so far), I can stretch the hose around the back of the car regardless of being parked with the fuel cap on the right side.

If the gas station is busy, I'll just queue for the least populated pump anyway.

Most recently in the dirt track challenger or whatever it was. I think they ran out in the gremlin too. But they run out fairly often.

My truck at work has it on the drivers side. My truck is on the passenger side. I pulled up to a gas station once, started to put my card in, and luckily realized I was on the wrong side before I did lol

>he parks when filling his tank

Depends on the fueling station, but often not. Sunoco will traditionally have long hoses that can reach both sides, and Costco typically does, but most gas stations don't.

>Ford
Of course Ford would do that. Ford is great at fucking up so badly.

Yes? Think about it for a second, on which side is the fuel hose if you have your cap on the left side of the car?

How about cars with exhaust pipes on both sides?

I fucking love that though. It doesn't matter which side I pull up on, I just have to stick a little further forward.
