What is the benefit of having gas door on the passenger side and not driver side?

Question

I won't ever buy a car with gas door on passenger side cause it's too long of a walk.

Answer 1

That's so you can make the passenger pump and pay!!!

Answer 2

Okay, internet philospher.

Its because gas stations.

Answer 3

The gas filler is on the side opposite the exhaust. Nice thing for Oregonians is it's illegal to pump your own gas so all the stations have attendants to do it for you, especially those who can't walk 15 steps. Hate to see when you need to go to the toilet. Move to Oregon. That doesn't solve the toilet dilemma.

Answer 4

I would think it's not as simple as there just being the door over there...The entire fuel tank is probably offset in that direction - It's safer more often...though your insurance probably doesn't lower your rates accordingly - haha.

Answer 5

the Jaguars had 2 tanks and a door in each side

and it does not matter which side the door is on as long as you remember when you go for Petrol

My Mercedes Benz was on the left side My other Mercedes Benz was on the Right side you do Know that Japan drives on the correct side the left so the Door would be on the Right

My 1964 220Sb Mercedes Benz was under the rear Number plate

Answer 6

You get more exercise if the fuel door is on the passenger side.

Answer 7

There are ZERO benefits of having the fill tube on EITHER side over the other side.

Answer 8

There ARE gas stations that only allow cars to enter and exit in one direction, so having a car with the fill neck on that side works out well.

Answer 9

Well Ford put the gas filler on the old Model "A" in the middle of the cowl and the gas tank was right in front of you. In case of a frontal crash guess who was in line to become a fireball? Would that suit you better?

Answer 10

poor baby don't know how to pull up to a gas pump.
