 Topic: OMG I totally didn’t know that!!
Posted: 07 May 2007 at 3:28pm |
So I was just watching Ellen and she was telling a monologue about filling up her petrol and never knowing which side to pull up to the pump.. I must admit I do this as well since DH and I often swap cars and both have tanks of opposite sides from each other...
Anyway, apparently it was pointed out to her that she just needs to look at the petrol indicator in the car, and the little arrow next to the petrol pump icon will tell her which side the petrol cap is on!! Of course!!!!
I ran outside to take a look and lo and behold it's right there!! I took a photo to share with you all so you know what I'm talking about.. Surely I'm not the only one (aside from Ellen) who didn't know this!! HAHA

Yeah they did mention some cars don't have them :( I don't understand how we aren't told something as important as this!!! No more driving in the wrong way for me!!
I can't wait until DH gets home so I can tell him too!!...Although being a typical male he'll probably say, "didn't you know that?" haha

Haha now I've just gotta go check ours. I don't think I've seen an arrow before? lol Is it based on car make, or year?

I don't know from which year vehicles have this "special feature", but our 2001 model has it and the 1999 doesn't :(
