Not sure if this is common knowledge or not. Why YSK it’ll save you the guessing game of which side your gas tank is on when pulling up to a gas station.
My car has this, but a rental car I’ve recently didn’t. It was fun pulling up to the gas pump having no idea what side the tank was on and noticing there wasn’t any arrows.
Also there's usually a clip for your fuel cap on the inside of the flap
Its pretty funny - I learned this the last 2 years I was to own a gas operated car. I had always struggled with certain models on which side the gas tank was and would embarrassingly have to switch stalls when I came out to realize I was on the wrong side.
Now I just have to remember what side my charging port is on, passengers get the zap is how I remember
I learned this way too late in life.

I know this, but I still get confused. Is it pointing to the left, because my fuel tank is on the right and I should be left of the pump? Or is it pointing to the side my fuel tank is on?
Technically, the gas tank is pretty much always in the middle
I have never seen one with an arrow. Here it is usually the side that the pump is on.
Could you please add a "Why YSK:"? It's rule #2. Thank you. :)
Yeah, but which of the two arrows though? The yellow one pointing to the right, or the white pointing to the left?
Yeah, this fact is really useful when driving someone else's car.
I like to refer to it as right-handed and left-handed gasoline.
YSK that YSK where it is.
Driving rental cars for a couple of years for work, this was super useful
How can you not remember what side of the car the gas tank is on?
Do these people frequently get in on the wrong side of the car to drive it too?
