What do you mean, the hose reaches? I've seen it reach when other drivers do it, but on the one occasion I tried I had the embarrassment of me trying to stretch it, it not reaching - I tried over the boot, over the roof, - then having to drive off & queue up again. I also watched another woman do this once! Anyway, it's probably about half & half if petrol caps are on the driver's side or the passenger's side. So it doesn't matter.

They dont all reach over to the other side of the car !
Only the newer pump`s have the hoses that reach and the majority of driver`s will of tried this over the years and will simply be going off memory that they do not reach !
Plus added to that the fact that the hose scratches the paintwork when it comes over the roof , I think i will just continue to annoy people waiting for the pump that is the same side as my fuel cap !

I like that, because not a lot of people know it and queue on the side for their petrol caps. Then I just drive in on the other side and pull out the pump pipe across my car and fill up. Then they realise.

that 's not funny but this is.
A passenger in a taxi leaned over to ask the driver a question and tapped him on the shoulder. The driver screamed, lost control of the cab, nearly hit a bus, drove up over the curb, and stopped just inches from A large plate glass window. For a few moments everything was silent in the cab, and then the still shaking driver said, "I'm sorry, but you scared The daylights out of me." The frightened passenger apologized to the driver and said he didn't realize a mere tap on the shoulder could frighten him so much. The driver replied, "No, no, I'm sorry, it's entirely my fault. Today is my first day driving a cab. I've been
driving a hearse for the last 25 years."

I always queue at the side my petrol cap is, because I get in a tangle with the pumps the car and everything else.
saves embarrassment on my behalf I guess

I always make sure the cap is as near to the pump as possible. One time I hung the hose over my car and scratched the paintwork. never again.

Because I am a girly and I do not have the strength to pull the darn thing around the car, and it doesn't fit over the top of the car 'cos I've got a 7 seater.

Indeed - but it's good that they do - thus leaving space on the forecourt for those of us who have sussed out the mystery of the far-reaching hose.

The hoses don't always reach and they also scratch the paintwork.
