It’s true—and once you know it, you’ll never forget it. 🚗⛽
What the Little Arrow Next to the Gas Gauge Means
That small arrow (or triangle) next to the fuel pump icon shows which side of your car the gas cap is on.
- Arrow pointing left → gas cap is on the left side
- Arrow pointing right → gas cap is on the right side
Why It Exists
- It helps drivers—especially in rental cars or new vehicles—pull up to the pump on the correct side without guessing.
- Saves time and prevents awkward repositioning at the station.
Fun Extra Tip
If there’s no arrow, look at the fuel pump icon:
- The hose is usually drawn on the side where the gas cap is.
💡 Once you notice it, you’ll start checking it in every car you get into.
It’s one of those simple design features that most people overlook for years.
