Fuel door issue....http://blog.allstate.com/gas-tanks-...t=OB_Gas-Tanks-Why-Arent-All-Fuel-Doors-on-th

Funny. I remember the first day I went to fill my 2000 Audi A4 Quattro. I pulled in and looked for the door release. Finding none, I went out and sat looking at the filler door. There was no finger hold or anything so I finally pushed on one side and simply popped open. Felt like an idiot!

With the Buicks it's much easier- especially with the addition of the staydown plate holder. Only issue now is that I have to babysit the pump while it fills as the Buick is temperamental and likes to spit up if I try to pump too fast. Then there's the issue of the $50-60 she wants to drink....

and how about the 73-87 Chevy/GMC pickups with dual tanks and a filler on each side?

i like how he assumes that every car has an arrow on the fuel gauge telling you where the fuel door is.. i don't think i've ever owned a vehicle that has an arrow telling me where to go, but then again i'm pretty poor and only drive old junk..

i've seen people say that, in general, the filler will be on the opposite side of the car as the tip of the exhaust.. but that's not always true- the 95 Neon that i'm building into a road racer had a right side exhaust tip and has a right side filler and i've noticed a lot of other cars that are the same way.. and these days, it seems that everything has dual exhaust tips.. but i will always prefer the old GM way of putting it behind the license plate. it not only looks cleaner, but it doesn't matter which side you pull up to the pump, which is handy if the gas station is busy.
