Some handy information
Quick question...
What side of your car is your petrol tank?
If you are anything like me and many others, 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 a little secret so you will no longer look like Ace Ventura on your way to the petrol station or put your neck at risk of uncomfort 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. It is that simple!
(sorry there is supposed to be a pic but not quite mastered the art of posting pics yet )
Check and see when you next get in your car, its true. No more arguments now when u pull into the petrol station about who's side the tank is on.

It is true, I got the same email last week and after nearly 20 years of driving I was amazed to find this out.
Could've saved me so much hassle with rental vans in the past.

I thought that everyone knows that
Some cars have a little arrow thing too pointing to the left or right next to the pic of the pump
