You drove and pulled up to the gas station to fill your gas tank. You exited your vehicle, opened your gas tank cover, grabbed and put the dispenser nozzle in. You also had to pay at some point.
How can you forget that the hose is still connected to your car when you drive off?
Why would the fuel cap be on the other side of the car from the filly filly gas hole?
Fuel cap and filling hole on the passenger side and not on the driver side
(On some vehicles)
Not only is that not what you said, but that doesn’t inherently increase the risk of driving off with the nozzle in the car.
