>> how many people know how to find out which side of the vehicle the gas tank is on while sitting in the driver's seat?

Is there actually a way (apart from pulling a lever to open it and looking in a mirror if it is the type which flips open)?

The symbol on the fuel gauge indicating the side of the tank opening is a myth isn’t it? Doesn’t consistently hold true for my car, and people seem to remember the version the does - does the hose indicate the side of the flap or the side the hose needs to be on?

It exists. It's a small arrow, and most _rental_ cars have it. For cars sold to the public it's hit or miss. My new car doesn't have it either.

The symbol is an arrow[1], not the hose.
