There's often no pump available on the side you want. There's nothing I like better than to drive up to an vacant pump, flip the filler cap and then stretch the hose round the back of the car to fill it up. There's plenty of length in the hose to do it and it makes young lads with their girls in the car look stupid.  :)

How can any driver not know which side their filler cap is located ? Obviously staged for the camera.

I've to think about which side it is on SWMBO's C3. It's on the other side from any other car I've had ie the passenger side

Rootes group did that.
We hired a Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme in America in the early 80s and that's where the filler cap was on that too.

I don't allow  Mr Opti's to fill the car with fuel.

Derv, petrol, and even LPG all seem the same to the ladies. Bless their little cotton socks. :-* :-* :-*
