Seriously? The Gas Cap Has A Real Unmodifiable Reason To Be On The Wrong Side?

[OctoberGlory]

Keep this quiet after Elios are all over the place I am going to offer an after market kit to move the gas cap to the left side. I will be rich.

I think some wires got crossed up somewhere - that's not my quote. o_O

No need to go back to the Pinto, though it's a nice touch. Owing, apparently, to a need to provide an obstruction-free space for the slide door mechanism, Dodge Caravans have typically had (and may still for all I know) the filler on the driver's side.

are we sure that this will end if it hits 1000?

Not a chance. Some smart alec like me will be along seconds after 1000 just to say "1001"!

not unless i get there first

but does it really matter what wide the thing is on? the p3 has it on the left side maybe the p5 it will be in the back or on the top could even be in the front. cars in the past had then all over.

Until we get some real news we can get excited about. We will talk about the gas cap, the oil changes the door post where to hang the handy cap sticker.How many colors and anything else.
While we are on the subject why not a locking gas cap others may feel we don't need the gas and steal it.

We get to 1000 posts on this thread or I start a "metric versus u.s." thread just to be a troll.

(What I really want is some real news - bored)

Not a large enough capacity gas tank for thieves to mess with.

Isn't it going to have one of those "capless" fill setups, no cap to lock? But then wouldn't it be prudent to have a cable to open the gas door from inside the vehicle?

That would add to the production cost. I do believe you can buy locking fuel plugs to secure Capless tanks.
