It took a year to get used to but not banging the door is worth it! Plus an aftermarket fuel door looks better over there.

I wish it was behind the license plate, like my C4 Vette, because you could fill it from either side!

My cars have always been a mix of right and left side. I always glance down at the gas gage as I pull into the pump to remind me. At least we don't have a faux gas cap like the new Mustang.

Hate It

Something ford would do

Pain in the ass got to walk around car to put gas in

So...how many of you use your shirt between the gas lid and your finger when opening and closing it? I hate fingerprints...lol.

Just hate the size of the tank itself.

Works fine for me. The same as my Mustang.

I hate where it is now, on the wrong side, would have love for them to put it where it was on the concept car, on the shoulder left rear......... JRJ

This car was at The Camaro Nationals............................

Where it goddam well belongs

Front and rear-end collisions are more prevalent. Nailing the cap and filler neck in the rear creates additional exposure to the gas tank. I'd rather have mine on A side.

I think it would have been cool to have it there also. But isn't that where it would be on the old Plymouth or Dodge?

mastertypodemon · 07-31-2012, 11:41 PM

I'd rather it be on the drivers side since I can better judge the distance between pump and driver door than I can between pump and passenger door.

I wish Chevy would see this post and take it into consideration when building the new camaros.

I'm sure I wouldn't know WHAT you're talking about.
