Consumer Description

LOCAL GAS STATION HAD LOW PRICE TODAY SO PLACE WAS CROWDED. MUCH CHAOS DUE TO STUPID PLACEMENT OF GAS FILLER PIPE ON STARBOARD SIDE. CHAOS BREEDS CONFUSION AND UNSAFE CONDITION. CAR MAKERS THINK IT LOOKS EUROPEAN BUT A STARBOARD GAS FILLER LOCATION IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN IT NEEDS TO BE. EVERY FILLER SHOULD BE ON ONE SIDE ONLY.*AK
