Most people don’t think much about the gas filler location on their vehicle until they pull up to the pump and it’s on the wrong side. Many automakers now put a little arrow or directional indicator on the fuel gauge to show which side the fill is located. And for all the smug EV drivers, you still have to “fill” your battery with a charge even though the location of the charge port is usually less critical since EV chargers typically have longer cords.
However, for the majority of vehicles on the road, petroleum-fueled engines are still the norm. According to the automotive website, Edmunds, as of May 2024, 93.2 percent of U.S. car sales still belong to internal combustion-powered vehicles. The location of the gas filler on those cars is dependent on the design of the vehicle and are generally placed where the components makes the most sense.
