Because Europeans invented and practically own automotive transport..therefore we're right. Always.Total-KO
Right because it wasn't Henry Ford that rolled out with the first automobile, no it was some guy from across the pond. Oh and American cars do have gas tanks on both sides. And the reason we have different exhausts is that we have different pollution controls. So typically our engines are different than yours so we require different exhaust as well.

Exactly, I can't belive that the yanks actually think they invented the car.....it's sad

they didn't invent it.. they just invented how to build it cheaply and efficiently.

Drivers side is on the left though :? The brits are on the right well, they asked why do european cars have it on the right side? and some european cars have the driver's side on the right...

Drivers side is on the left though :? The brits are on the right well, they asked why do european cars have it on the right side? and some european cars have the driver's side on the right... actually practically every country in europe drives on the right apart from britain. the only places you'll find people driving on the left hand side are britain and former members of the british empire

they didn't invent it.. they just invented how to build it cheaply and efficiently. No, the japanese did. Notice how Japanese car are cheaper and way more durable that US cars. Oh and the use less petrol too, so they're more effecient.

I dont know about you guys, but i've owned three cars in my lifetime and they've all had the petrol tank on a different side. I didn't realise it was standardised in any way. :|
I have an American car and the gas tank is on the right. (Actually I think it's in the middle under the car, but you fill it up on the right, which is what I assume he meant.)
It's not very practical... just so you knowixlr8evo8
Because we drive right hand drive cars in UK, But actucally thats niot always the case with the fuel tank being on the right, it just depends what car you have as japenese cars fuel tanks in Uk are on the left.
