YSK that most car’s fuel gauges have an arrow that point to which side your gas tank is on.
Not sure if this is common knowledge or not. Why YSK it’ll save you the guessing game of which side your gas tank is on when pulling up to a gas station.

Its pretty funny - I learned this the last 2 years I was to own a gas operated car. I had always struggled with certain models on which side the gas tank was and would embarrassingly have to switch stalls when I came out to realize I was on the wrong side.
Now I just have to remember what side my charging port is on, passengers get the zap is how I remember
I learned this recently. I would end up circling the gas pumps trying to remember if it was right or left. It wasn’t until the person who was on the pump beside me, who also saw me do this circle before getting it right, told me about this feature. I remember telling a friend of mine about it and they told me that they already knew, but no one ever told me about it. Glad to know I’m not the only one who would have to play the guessing game of “which side is the gas tank”.
LOL, same here. Most of the time I knew, but in a rental car or something, I could never remember...
My charging port is in the front center now--and this is causing me problems with some street chargers because I can't get the cable far enough over. There's no arrow for that....
Ohh yeah that can be such a pain to maneuver on a street, that really sucks and I didn't think about that pain point with front charging cars! A leaf?
Yah, Leaf 2016 model. I got ticketed by the city for parking the wrong direction. I tried to explain to them that they chose to site the charger in a way that caused this problem, but they said they didn't care and don't do it....
Is there something similar to the gas tank arrow on EVs? I never thought about it, but the charge ports are all over the place.
Haha not really, it's just a graphic with a plug image on the right side so that's some small indication
