Cars and gas pumps are already designed so that cars can be filled from both sides.
Like most cars, mine has the filler on the left side. However, if all the pumps that favor that arrangement are busy, I can use one of the opposite side pumps, and save a lot of time. Have you ever noticed how the pump's hose is much longer than the distance from the pump to the car, and wondered why? That is so that you can *pull* on the hose to make it reach across to the other side of your car.

Ever wonder why these whizz bang car engineers will ever put the gas tank filler in the center of the rear on the car again???
Every wonder what is the CEO of all these car manufacturers are thinking when they have the same problem pulling up on which side of the pumps?
