How do I know what gas cap is right for me?

Next time you're in the car, take a look at the gas icon next to your fuel gauge on the dashboard. See that triangle? That's an arrow pointing to the side of the vehicle the fuel cap is on. So, if it points to the left – you guessed it – the filler cap is on the driver's side of your car.

The Quickest Way to Tell Which Side of the Car Its Gas Cap Is On

Always remember where your vehicle’s fuel cap is with this great trick

Isn’t it aggravating when you pull into a gas station and can’t remember which side of your car needs to be facing the pump? You park your car and step out only to realize that — yet again — you’ve pulled up on the wrong side and have to turn your car around. If this happens to you often, here’s a great trick many people don’t know to remember which side of your car its gas cap is on. Tired of Paying for Gas for Your Car? It’s one of these reasons you should consider driving an EV

How your car discreetly tells you where the fuel cap is

Your car actually does have an easy-to-spot indicator that informs you which side of the car to fill up from, but no one may have ever told you about it before. Well, let me be the first to do that. Next time you’re in the car, take a look at the gas icon next to your fuel gauge on the dashboard. See that triangle? That’s an arrow pointing to the side of the vehicle the fuel cap is on. So, if it points to the left – you guessed it – the filler cap is on the driver’s side of your car. And if it points to the right, it’s on the passenger’s side. It’s that simple. This trick is especially useful if you’re driving a car you’re not familiar with, like a rental. Of all the aspects of vehicle design and manufacturing that the government regulates, the placement of the gas tank access point is not. According to an article by Southern Living, that allows manufacturers the freedom to design the rest of the vehicle without being bound by the requirement to always have the fuel door and tank opening in the same spot. So, it’s location is generally a result of how the rest of the car is designed. Still, studies like the one referenced by Allstate show that Americans largely prefer that fuel caps be positioned on the left side of the vehicle, whereas those who drive on the left side of the road prefer to have the gas cap on the right side of the car. Unfortunately, older cars don’t have that nifty indicator, as no one had this genius idea until only recently. Back in the day, you had to memorize the cap’s location, and it could’ve been hidden anywhere, even underneath the rear license plate or inside the tail light!

Did 2Pac ever go diamond?

mtv.com - Tupac's 'All Eyez On Me' Goes Diamond | News - MTV

Eyes and ears are still on Tupac in 2014.

Tupac’s All Eyez on Me double-album, which was released in 1996, was certified diamond recently by the RIAA, which means 10 million copies of the classic album have been sold. All Eyez features a slew of hits including tracks like “All Bout U,” “2 Of Amerikaz Most Wanted,” and “California Love (Remix)”—oh and that's just just disc one. Meanwhile, disc two boasts tracks like “Picture Me Rollin’,” “Thug Passion” and, of course, the project’s title track. While Tupac, who recently inspired a Broadway show, holds his own on the album, All Eyez On Me also features a great supporting cast as Dr. Dre, Roger Troutman, Snoop Dogg (back when he was Snoop Doggy Dogg) and the late-great Nate Dogg all appear on the album. The same year Tupac released All Eyez On Me, he also taped his final MTV interview. In the interview, ‘Pac, who was gunned down in Las Vegas, Nevada in September of the same year, was asked if he was disappointed about losing the “Best Rap Video” award at the 1996 VMAs. “I didn’t lose,” Tupac said in the clip, sitting next to Snoop. “I sold 6 and a half million copies, so I won.”
