    Gee thanks. I have been driving Subarus with filler caps on the right for decades and it never bothered me. Now it will. The last thing I need is something else to annoy me.

    Right handle vehicles? I've never heard that terminology before.

    And some just have a picture of a gas pump positioned to match which side the filler is on.

    I thought the right side vs left gas fill had more to do with foreign car vs domestic.
    but ya that little arrow on the gas tank gage is going to be life changing for those of you that never noticed it prior. so handy with rental cars when you are in a rush to get to the airport and still need to fill up

    You'll still need to find the lever that opens the flap though..

    Our Tie-oh-duh's both have left hand, the VW is on the right. Former is made in USA, latter is made in Mexico.

    It’s entertaining reading through all the crazy rationales people offer for which side the gas cap goes on. Pretty sure it’s whichever side costs least to design and manufacture, and if it’s more or less equal they stick it on the left.
    focus.

    Yeah, I think more Japanese, Korean (Asian) vehicles are left side and domestic and some German on the right.

    One of the many things I learned from Car Talk is that in 99% of cars, the fill tube is on the opposite side of the exhaust.

    Ya know, of the four vehicles I've owned, only one has had a locking door/flap. All were Japanese. Two had fillers on the left, two on the right. And all of them were produced this century.

    On my wife's Mazda it right next to the identically shaped hood release.

    I have noticed the hood is accidentally unlatched numerous times.

    Obviously, the regulations trump all else, but after that it's engineers > designers > policy.

    Toyota Sienna 2011 too. In the 2016 Highlander they mercifully made the gas lever into a button, so it is a lot more obvious.
