![]() Driver's side. |
![]() |
![]() passenger side on my two most recent cars... |
![]() |
![]() japanese made cars tend to fill up on the left side and german made cars tend to have their fuel doors on their right side. in short, the general rule *should* have the fuel door off the roadway, if you're out of gas need a refuel. |
![]() |
![]() my cars were Japanese and German.. |

If the one's with the gas flaps on the passenger side are European, shouldn't the steering wheel also be on the passenger side? |
![]() |
![]() Wow... Andy is really doing it |

Mr Mark:
Passenger side - Subaru. First car was a 73 Plymouth with it behind the license plate. |

"behind the license plate" - SEE MELINDA - NOT SO WEIRD!!!! |
![]() |
![]() Good cars have the filler on the passenger side (because it's marginally safer to have it on the opposite side from oncoming traffic). |
![]() |
Wed. 9/13/17 6:26pm
Mr Mark:
Oh - seems like every car made in the last 20 years has a little arrow on the fuel gauge showing which side the gas fill up is on. So don't even need to remember that anymore |
![]() |
![]() ...and @Mr. Mark is correct, there's a hint on the dash. |

BnowB:
Americans prefer left-mounted fuel doors, said Schirmer, referencing a Ford study. A driver’s-side fuel door makes it easier for drivers to place the car’s left fender close to fuel pump |

![]() I believe VWs and Audis do passenger side. Because they're well designed. |
![]() |
![]() Even if a gas station had only one entrance, it wouldn't matter, because the pumps are always at an island away from the building. On approach, you decide to go to the left or the right. |
![]() |
Wed. 9/13/17 6:32pm
Mr Mark:
Gas hoses are long enough to fill no matter which side the fuel door is on. |
![]() |
![]() Oh, here: Japanese (90%+ left): Japanese cars are consistent within their model lines and even parent companies. The rate of exceptions is probably under 10% of vehicles produced in a given time period. Honda/Acura: Left Toyota/Lexus: Left Nissan: Left (right: 350Z/G35 and 370Z/G37) Mazda: Left (Mazda3 right due to Ford influence) Mitsubishi: Left Subaru: Right German: German automarkers tend to place the filler on the right, more consistently than American cars. BMW: Right Mercedes-Benz: Right VW/Audi: Right American: My knowledge of American cars is less, but they tend to be less consistent within their model lines and as a whole. Also, the relationship between parent companies is murkier. Ford: Right (new Mustang is left, old Mustangs are right, Probe is left probably due to Mazda influence) Chevrolet cars: Left. Chevrolet Trucks/SUVs: Right Dodge: Left (Viper is right) Korean: Kia: Left Hyundai: Left www.quora.com... |

![]() of course it would get installed when it's a phone bank filler show, do it on a high concept show when it' sike, three people calling and one of them is cranky about the topic being stupid |
![]() |
![]() I think all Euro cars are on the passenger side. |

my first pickup truck had the gas filler on the left - and the tank was behind the seat in the cab. |

Lukoil is a Russian owned company. During a 2003 photo op, Chuck Schumer shared a Krispy Kreme with Vladimir Putin at the opening of the Lukoil gas station on 10th Ave. and 24th St. (since closed). |

Wed. 9/13/17 6:43pm
Mr Mark:
Isn't it better to have it on the passenger side - so you don't hit your door on the gas pump when you get out to fill up? |

Wed. 9/13/17 6:44pm
BnowB:
YES MR Mark! |

destabilizer:
Andy is right: Suppose gas tanks were always on the driver's side of the car. Drivers would then have to park on the right side of an open pump in order to fill their tanks. ... Putting fuel filler doors on different sides of different cars thus means that some cars can access pumps from the left.Aug 3, 2009 | |

![]() Drivers find it marginally more convenient to have it on the driver's side, but it's marginally safer to have it on the passenger side. So which side a company chooses says something about which of those they prioritize. It's unsurprising that paternalistic German engineers make the decision for the owner. After all, the manual for my German car explained how the climate-control system could be set for whatever temperature we might want... but then pointed out what the one truly CORRECT and RECOMMENDED temperature was. |

Wed. 9/13/17 6:58pm
BnowB:
its recommended based on when it auto turns on an off and its efficiency ... oh you said GERMAN.. nevermind |
