Okay, so you probably already know this, but can honestly say that if I would have know about this, I could have saved getting totally irritated on many occasions at my hubby.
We both have our own vehicles that we drive on a regular basis. I, like many moms, drive the mini van (go ahead Tim...get your jab in now!) and Andy drives his car. On the weekends, we usually take the van and he will drive. I always try to plan the gas tank to be low close to the weekend, just so that he'll fill it up instead of me.(oh, not really....okay, just sometimes) Anyway...when you drive a different car most of the time, when it comes time to fill up, he would always ask me what side the gas tank was on.
So I'm not the most patient person in the world, and I'd get a little testy and say..."the left...still...just like the last time you put gas in the van" Geesh...how many times do I have to tell him. (that really sounds "not nice" surely I don't really sound like that, do I?)
Anyway...look what a learned while co-piloting the church van on our recent ski trip!
Do you see it?
Right above the F to indicate whether or not you have gas...(my engine was off at the time of this picture...I do happen to have a full tank!) See that little arrow and the words "Fuel Door" oh my gosh...that arrow tells you what side the gas tank is on. How cool is that!
Really, I honestly never knew that!
I'd love to know how many of you knew that before reading this post and I love even more to hear from someone, okay anyone, who didn't know this either!
Happy Wednesday!

i had no clue
i'm always the one forgetting which side and having to turn around lol
I didn't know that...but, then, I am blonde AND old so I have 2 excuses!
The Millenium Falcon has that, too.
Just learned this when I bought my car last July. Mine has a little gas pump with the arrow pointing out the side. I had never noticed that before.
I learned this recently and couldn't believe how many times I could have used it and didn't know!
I actually DID know that! But, I remember when I found out, and I thought it was brilliant! I wonder how long that has been around? :) It sure does make life easier when driving a different car.
That's funny. I had no idea. :D
That's one I DID know but there are many other's that I didn't.
Like did you know that in Illinois your driver's license starts with a letter and that letter coincides with what your last name begins with?? And your birth year is the number in the middle!! I had no idea! Now I understand why so many people know their driver's license number...
we had gas attendants in oregon and i can't tell you how many times i'd forget either what side it was on or where the doggone button was. quite humorous i'm sure for those gas dudes!
