Did You Know? Gas Tanks

The placement of the gas tank on the dashboard
gives the driver valuable information

Here's a tip that you need to know when you pull into a gas station to refuel your car.

If your vehicle was manufactured after 2010, the gas tank icon will be on your dashboard. Its placement on the gas gauge is important to understand.

If the tank icon is on the right side of your fuel gauge, the gas tank is on the right side of your car. If the tank icon is on the left side of your fuel gauge, the gas tank is on the left side of your car.

If the icon is high on the gauge, it means the tank is in the rear of the car on that side. If the icon is low on the gauge, it means the tank is in the middle of the vehicle on that side.

This is especially helpful to know when the location of the gas tank is not familiar to you, for example when you just bought a new car or when your car is a rental.

Did You Know? Street Signs

The placement of the exit sign gives valuable information to the driver

 If the exit sign is side by side another exit sign with no mileage to say how far the exit is, the sign on the left indicates the exit is on the left and the sign on the right indicates the exit is on the right.

If both signs show mileage, for example, one says "Exit in 2 miles" and the other sign says "Exit in 3 miles," both exits are on the right. 

However, the sign with the earliest mileage of 2 miles will be first on the right, and the sign that says 3 miles will be after the first exit.
