    This scenario isn't obviously your own car, but say you are driving a rental car or someone else's car, and it's a type car you've never driven before.

    I can't believe I never knew this. Answer truthfully, and don't reveal the answer please. Sarcasm is fine, and guesses are fine. Just blurting out the answer if you know it isn't cool though.

    Not sure how to answer this without revealing the answer, but yes there is a way to tell which side the gas cap is on.
    I will say no more.

    Yep, and when people figure it out it makes total sense.

    I drove a lot of rentals back when I travelled so this was necessary. Had to fill up before returning.

    Probably right. But, how many men know there are push in tabs on the ends of boxes of plastic wrap, aluminum foil, and parchment paper to keep the roll from falling out? :p

    You just smash the lid down then wedge it between two other things then run away.

    Properly? I'll get 'er in there.

    I voted no and had to look at the answer. Now I have to see if it's true or not.

    I'm giving my mom our old car and it's on the right side. I showed her how she could tell while she's in the car and she was like, "not every car has that." I told her to check hers, and sure enough it's there.

    I don't think I always knew this. Probably learned it 10-15 years ago.
