Fuel Filler is on the Right!! - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

That suits me just fine, it means I won't have to relearn which side of the pump to pull up on. It took me months to stop accidentally pulling on the wrong side the pump when I first bought my WRX.

I didn't think of that but Subaru always have it on the right I believe.

Doesn't offset shit, the tank is likely the entire width of the car.

Regarding some other posts: what won't you people bitch about?

Haha, exactly!

I drove SC300 a few weeks, fuel cap is also on the right. Maybe because it's a dedicated coupe?

This is outrageous! This will not stand! I demand my deposit back!

Wait.... why do we care? LOL

I drive a spitfire gas cap is in the middle. He he he. I dont care. This car is for my sweetie.

I share your excitement... Oddly enough. I too much prefer the fill on the right hand side. Can only think of maybe one car I have owned that was on the left.

I remember when I had an NA Miata- that was weird, it was that I couldn't get the filler lid OPEN! The release is hidden in the center console, I looked for 15 min feeling so stupid. The other car that's strange is the first gen 911 with the release and tank right I front of the drivers door....... Like in my avatar pic actualy!

Right side lessens the chance of opening your door into those nice and forgiving cement pillars they put next to the pumps.

That and my girl is closer to the pump so she can get out and fill it up!

Yeah all Subaru's are on the right side... Just another example of why this car is really a subaru

The AE86, Supras, etc. were all on the right.

(Piss-poor theory that does not apply to all cars, but I like to think it anyway): In general, cool cars have the gas filler on the right, and either dual exhaust, or an outlet on the left.

this.
