Petrol and diesel drivers can save seconds next time they visit a fuel station due to a little-known tip which could shock drivers, according to a LeaseCar.UK expert.  Fuel caps can be

located on either the left or right side of cars with manufacturers opting for one side or the other. Meanwhile, petrol stations can be stressful and motorists may forget which side of their

the right or left of your dashboard dial that this indicates the side of the fuel cap on your car.”
