Looking at many drivers on the road, it's a bloody miracle that they
know which side the petrol cap is on

Notwithstanding the fact that I am an utterly *brilliant* driver, I
have no clue which side the petrol cap is, courtesy of the fact that
it's different on the the two vehicles I drive regularly. However, I
have no incentive to try to remember, as whichever side of the petrol
pump I park, the hose is always more than amply long enough to reach
the tank even if it's on the far side of the car, with no risk of
damage etc to pump/hose/car.

I always find it bizarre when there are two or three vehicles with
right-side petrol caps queuing on the left side of the pump, but nobody
using the right side... I pull up, fill my tank using the hose over to
the far side of the car, and have left the forecourt before these
people have even reached the pump...

Shh, don't tell them. My motorhome has the filler on the left and I have
no choice but to use the right side - but it helps when all the useless
morons with the filler on the left are all queuing on the other side.
