Final destination, I think is still undecided, the pre-prod probably has a fuel cell in the trunk. I don't think top of the drivers' rear fender is going to make...but I could be wrong.

So far we've seen the front, driver side and rear of the pre-pro Camaro and no gas cap to be found. I'm not a gambling man outside of Vegas but I'd put money the gas cap is on the passenger side.

My bet too unfortunately. Pass side rear 1/4 panel. Was hoping for drivers side 1/4 panel

why the switch to passenger side?

i like drivers side better, easier to line up with the fuel pump and you don't have to walk around the car to get to it

Frankly, I don't care which side its on. I've had enough cars that I've had it from anywhere like behind the license plate, to the driver side and the passenger side. As long as I can put gas into it.

Next time you're at the gas station, take notice that the "passenger's side" pumps are far far less popular. You never have to wait for one to open up! Passenger's side gas FTW.

Plus, both sides of the pumps are used because, depending on which way you coming and going, you will pull into that pump. So we use both sides, just depends on our direction of travel.

There is one advantage to the passenger side fill location. You don't run the risk of dinging your door on the fuel pumps or the concrete islands that surround them.

That's what I always thought until I was in Greensboro, NC last month and a gas station I stopped at (wal-mart owned?) had directional arrows, it was one way only for all pumps (same direction) so it was funny to see all the DS pumps with people waiting and the PS pumps with only a car or two. I thought it was a stupid design.
