Have you ever pulled into the gas station and gotten out of your car only to realize that your gas tank is on the other side?? Maybe I'm the only one, but I used to constantly do this.
I've learned something new that has kept me from making this silly little mistake for the past few months. Did you know that on most cars there is a little arrow pointing to the side of your car where the gas tank is?
It's genious and yet so simple.
You probably already knew about this, but if you're like me and you just upgraded from an older car, then maybe you've just learned something new too.
Some cars have had this for a while. I'm pretty sure my 1990 Mazda had it. But my '98 Durango didn't. And I would always get confused with between that and my husband's car. But now all of our vehicles have the tank on the same side and our arrows remind us of which side to pull up on. Not that it matters at Costco since their hoses are extra long. But it does at Fred Meyer. They have short ones.
ReplyDeleteWe'll cut you some slack, though, since you didn't grow up pumping your own gas. ;P
