Actually I have seen pics of at least one car that you flipped up the tail light to get at the gas cap. Forget what make it was.

that's pretty funny.

let your unsuspecting friend fill up the car for you, laugh your ass off for his inablilty to find the fuel door. he gets the last laugh after he sprays gasoline all over your ricer.

The "Furious" look?

EDIT: Probally to keep the body looking "clean". They do all sort of weird crap (badges, doorhandles and the such).

I'm guessing so you don't see the gas cap, but I could be wrong.

I dunno about you, but on my car it's behind a little door. ;) But I guess if they don't want to see that hideously ugly door... you gotta do what you gotta do.
