    Left Side, Right Side? Where's The Gas Cap?

    It's happened to all of us. You're driving a rental car or a friend's car (or your own car) and you stop for gas. As you're getting close to the pumps you realize you don't know on which side of the car the gas cap is located.

    Since its debut in 2003, the Honda Element has frequently been described with two succinct comments: "It's ugly" and "It's a box with four wheels."
