Traditionally, American cars have the fuel fill door on the driver's side. Scout is the one to be so proud of building an American vehicle. When owners of foreign built vehicles pull up to the pump near the passenger side, it disrupts the normal flow of traffic. Congrats, you are That Guy.

I used to travel for work a lot and drove all kinds of different rentals. It's always a crap shoot which side the filler is on...there is no normal flow of traffic into the gas station because there is no standard for which side it's on because there are cars from all over driving on our roads.

American made vehicles might traditionally have it on the driver's side, but that's really only relevant to normal flow if we just had American cars here.

This is a non issue.

Last time I checked gas station fuel pumps have hoses on each side. The olden times pumps had a hose on each end-side.

I read that BMW reduced the size of the range extender fuel tank on the i3 in the US (vs Europe) because if the gas range exceeds the all electric range, it gets reclassified as a PHEV. I don't have a source, so take with a grain of salt

The BMW i3 was a good example of an undersized range extender. It could only maintain 60mph once the battery died. You were screwed if you had to drive hilly terrain.
