Can anyone think of a reason they put the gas tank on the passenger side?

My guess, so that the passenger can fill her up while you are on enjoying your munchies.

i'm use to the passenger side since my last car had it on passenger side also. so i don't mind

My moms 88 mazda truck is like that... It's not on the wrong side..

The passenger side IS the correct side.

The reason for this is so that when the driver gets out of the car to fill up, he will slam his door into the car next to him rather than into the pump.

It's a gov't safety measure which has been recently implemented, and all car companies must comply by 2012.

The G35 is like that too. There's no such thing as right or wrong side .

so that when you're pumping gas, the girl sitting in the passenger side can admire your ripped arms through the side mirror.

I always liked the gas pump on that side. Everytime I went to the NEX to get gas on a military base. I rarley had to wait because my pump was on the other side. It was pretty nice. But if it is true and all gas tanks are being relocated that is going to suck for me lol.

And, to the original poster, as long as the gas tank is on the INSIDE of the car, and not the OUTSIDE, as far as I am concerned, the gas tank is on the correct side.

Keep reading the forum and I'm sure there'll be a better one, John.

If it's a guy you have the wrong person in the passenger seat

I liked it in the rear like my '71 Mach 1. Somehow that didn't sound right....

LOL

Actually I thought it was on the driver's side, just the Japanese (right hand side) driver's side.
