My pathfinder is on the driver's side, the wife's accord is too...

My 88 vette is actually in the trunk deck, not behind the license plate, but on the actual trunk deck kind of area under it's own little hatch.

Actually at least in the states there is a common denominator for knowing which side it is on. I actually figured this out while listening to the car talk puzzler. I got the answer right, but I did not win. The gas tank entry is on the side opposite the exhaust pipe. When there are two or more exhaust pipes then typically it is on the passenger side.

didn't we have a discussion on why it's mixed and how it works out alright because of it ? More pumps get used that way and it doesn't create a traffic jam at gas stations since cars aren't all facing the same way. Makes use of all gas station entranceways and both sides of the pumps.

My Isuzu's is on the right.

In Europe we drive on the right therefore our gas nozzles are on the right as the gas pump would be...

right side and left may have been a better choice for poll....but who cares. both of my vehicles have the gas cap on the driver's side. oddly enough, both of them have only the driver's side mirror, one fell out the other was built without

I used to have a couple Neons that were both on the passenger side, but my Breeze (stratus) is on the drivers side.
