Bet you did not know this...!?
Jun 30, 2009 | 5:36PM

I have been driving for years... I would think I should have noticed the little secret on my dashboard that was staring me in the face the whole time...I didn't...and I bet you didn't either...!!...  MMMM

Have you ever rented or borrowed a car and when arriving at the
petrol station wondered...mmm, which side is the petrol filler cap?
My normal solution was to stick my head out the window, strain my neck and look, try to see in the side mirrors or even get out of the car!

Well ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to share with you my little secret so you will no longer look like Ace Ventura on your way to the petrol station or put your neck at risk of discomfort or injury.

If you look at your petrol
gauge, you will see a small icon of a petrol pump?
The handle of the petrol pump will extend out on either the left or right side of the petrol pump?
If your tank is on the left, the handle will be on the left? If your tank is on the right, the handle will be on the right (see photo). It is that simple!

Don't feel dumb, just go out and share the world's best kept auto secret with your friends.

I was aware of this - - but only for newer model cars... I have 1988 Mercury & they weren't doing it
back then.

Another thing that many people are not aware of is:
the HOOD ORNAMENT on the center of hood was originally intended as a guide to be in the center of the lane in which you are driving.
IF you line up that little "thing" with the side of the road, you'll be properly spaced in your lane.
(Note: many newer cars don't have one, but usually have a ridge on the hood which should do the same thing).
