Am I the only one who saw the arrow and understood it without reading some shitty website first? Do explain, though. It's a topic I rarely hear discussed.

- dazc 10y agoI managed 20 years of driving without seeing the arrow, probably because I was never looking for it? I heard it mentioned on a radio show once but they said the side the tank filler was on corresponded to the nozzle on the pump icon - no mention of an arrow. I still didn't notice an arrow until the time the nozzle on the icon actually didn't correspond to the filler tank.
- masklinn 10y ago> I managed 20 years of driving without seeing the arrow, probably because I was never looking for it? Or because most cars historically haven't had it. I've only seen it in relatively recent cars (last 5 years maybe?) and even then not on all of them. > I heard it mentioned on a radio show once but they said the side the tank filler was on corresponded to the nozzle on the pump icon - no mention of an arrow. That one's not actually true, at least not consistently. Sometimes it works sometimes it does not so it's useless. The arrow, when present, is always correct.
- ajdlinux 10y agoIt may not have been used as consistently, but I've definitely seen the indicator arrow on cars that are over 25 years old.
- theandrewbailey 10y agoI have a 2006 Chevy Impala, and the arrow is there. I had it for about two years before reading about the arrow and never noticed ("saw") it, but now it's the first thing I notice when looking at another car's instrument panel.
- brokenmachine 10y agoYou're not the only one. I was surprised when my girlfriend didn't know it, but I can see how it wouldn't be noticed. As other people have said, not all cars have the arrow. My first car had it, so maybe that's why I was aware of it?
