Small Things
I consider myself someone who notices the small things in life around me, so you can imagine my surprise when Bonnie shared this about my car's gas gauge: there's an arrow next to the gas pump icon on your gas gauge and it points to the side of the car that the gas tank is on.
I never even noticed it. Now, be honest...did you? I went out to my car to check. Sure enough...there it was. Then I looked in Judy's car...several years older...and sure enough, she had one too. Go check and see about yours.
I'll never need to spend another moment wondering why all cars don't have tanks on the same side!
haha! My hubby and I just talked about that last week! I love that reminder - otherwise I'd always pull up to the wrong side. He didn't know it was there until after I had told him - that was a few years ago after we got our new car. LOL

I got that email from Bonnie also, and had never heard of this before. I had to go out to the car just to see if it was true, and it is!

i had to go out and look, but mine didn't have it. it has a picture of a gas tank that lights up when i'm low on gas, but no arrow. that's interesting, though.....

My car actually shows the words "FUEL DOOR" with an arrow....but I probably had the car for 3 years before I realized it.

Not all cars have the little arrow - mine doesn't! But...usually the little fuel sign is located on the side of the fuel gauge that corresponds to the side of the car the fule door is on (does that make sense??)
Such erudite conversation today (LOL) !!!

I'll be on the lookout now.

I just went out and checked my dashboard thoroughly, and my car does not have any kind of indicator like that. It's a 1999 Honda.
