Who actually knew this? I didn't!
I have been driving for more than 10 years. One would think I would have noticed the little secret on my dash that was staring me right in the face the whole time. I didn't and I bet you probably haven't either.
Quick question, what side of your car is your gas tank? If you are anything like me, you probably can't remember right away. My solution is to uncomfortably stick my head out the window, strain my neck and look. If you don't do this in your own car you definitely have done it in a borrowed or rental 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 uncomforted 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 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 photo above). It is that simple!
I don't know how you feel right now but when I found out this morning I felt cheated!
Why don't the dealers share such important information with car buyers? I don't understand why this isn't in the drivers Ed manual? I don't get why any mechanic I have ever been too or know has even thought of mentioning this to me? The only possible explanation can be that all these people probably don't even know!
Go out and share the worlds best kept auto secret with your friends as this is information is way too important to be kept secret.
Or at least it does not apply to all makes of cars, see the below link

"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 pump"
Well i checked m y car this morning and this doesn't apply to it BUT ...
I found a small arrow to the left side which indicates that my tank is from the Left side ..
Actually wut i have noticeed my self is the Europian car is always having their tank on the right hand side although other cars from Japan, China and Korea are having the tank on the left hand side ..
Dunno about the american cars ..

Dealers expect you to read the owners manual, since they are the experts and not you.
Did you had your brains teased and stretch with the comprehensive reading of your car operators manuals?

I have been drinking for more than 10 years. One would think I would have noticed the little secret on my bottle that was staring me right in the face the whole time. I didn't and I bet you probably haven't either.
Quick question, what side of your bed is your bottle? If you are anything like me, you probably can't remember right away. My solution is to uncomfortably stick my head out the pillow, strain my neck and look down. If you don't do this in your own bed you definitely have done it in a rented or hotel room.
Well ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to share with you my little secret so you will no longer look like drunker Bacchus on your way to the night bar or put your neck at risk of uncomforted or injury.
If you look at your beer bottle, you will see a small icon of malt. The handle of the bottle will extend out on either the left or right side of the mouth. If your bottle is on the left, the mouth will be on the left. If your bottle is on the right, the mouth will be on the right (see photo above). It is that simple!
I don't know how drunk you feel right now but when I found out this evening I felt cheated!
Why don't the beer-dealers share such important information with alcohol buyers?
I don't understand why this isn't in the drinkers Ed manual? I don't get why any drinker I have ever been too or know has even thought of mentioning this to me? The only possible explanation can be that all these people probably don't even drink!
Go out and share the worlds best kept beer secret with your friends as this is information is way too important to be kept secret.
