"Curiousity" type question....

I havent noticed that, but what I have noticed is that LHD cars usually
has the fuel filler on the right side, RHD (read: Japanese) usually has
it on the left side. This is practical, because when you pull up to the
pump, you wont have the problem of slamming the driver's door into the
fuel pump when you get out of the car.

With that being said, the Peugeot Expert van I drive at work has the
filler on the left side. I cant see any practical reason for this other
than that it wont be in the way of the right side sliding door. Still,
it has the fuel guage on the right side of the instruments. And yes, I
have slammed the driver's door into the pump a few times with that
Peugeot. And yes, I dont care too much :-)
