Knowing how to find out which side the fuel cap is is very much not mostly useless if you hire regularly; it saves considerable time and effort knowing you can just look at the gauge as you pull into the fuel station.
- setr 7y agoAll cars I can remember seen have a little arrow next to the gas symbol that much more explicitly tell you which side the cap is on Which makes this redundant, and therefore mostly useless :-)
- iNate2000 7y agoRedundant != Useless
- taneq 7y agoIt's actually useful even if you just don't drive much and only fill up every month or two. My brain has filler-cap-side down as "readily available information, do not store" so I don't bother remembering it. Gotta save those neurons for something I can't just look up at a glance when I need it!
- soylentcola 7y agoI also don't fill up too often and unintentionally memorized this after owning the car for a few months. At first I'd have to look at the little arrow on the fuel pump symbol, but early on, I made the joke to myself that the fuel port is "'pon the left hand side" (like that song "Pass the Dutchie"). Now to this day, when I pull into the gas station and momentarily think "what side is it again?" I immediately remember "'pon the left hand side". It's kind of ridiculous but it amuses me.
