Feel free to opine why the manufacturers don't standardize the location in the comments.

In the back, under the license plate (just how old is your car?)

    The side closest to the pump, naturally!

    Why isn't that an option in the poll? :sunglasses:

    Hhmm I would tend to disagree after whacking a door or two on occasion on the cement things that are there so you don't hit the pumps (in Our neck of the woods they have those things anyway)

    Sometimes I wish I had a single tank but dual fillers, like on some pickups. Then I could pick the easiest empty pump without having to remember which side the gas cap is on.

    And gas caps - another thing that needs to go away. The filler on my brother's F-150 is slick, just pop the lid and stick the nozzle in.
