ive never understood the muppets that side waiting for one on their side when the other pumps are free.

cos having the hose rubbing against the car can scratch the paint / laquer...found this out with the air hoses, now maek sure they go under the car and tyre "pins" the hose down so it doesn't retract .

Wait a minute, on closer inspection when driving earlier, i noticed the actual picture of the pump on the gauge is in the centre of the gauge BUT to the left of the needle(which is on the right of the gauge) so i guess its correct for me then after all

Its a 98 Civic VTi

As stu said, they normally have an arrow on the petrol pump symbol, some cars used to have the spout on the same side as the filler cap too.
