  • from way back: that discussion re: fuel pump displays on dashboards?

    From danny burstein@dannyb@panix.com to alt.folklore.urban on Sat Jan 3 16:47:50 2026
    From Newsgroup: alt.folklore.urban

    WSJ confirms that yes, the position of the pump handle on
    your dashboard display is, indeed, an indicator of which
    side to hook up (gas or electrical these days)

    that IS a deliberately designed gas pump symbol on your dashboard
