It points to which side the gas tank is on. (Saying "wrong answers only" in a sub who's rules are to post wrong answers is a double negative which forced me into the uncomfortable position of having to do hours upon hours of research at my local library to find the actual correct answer to the question.)
I felt the need to say wrong answers only because an insane amount of people in this sub keep posting like legit advice and answers. It's ruining what all us shittymechanics are truly here for!
It indicates what kind of a device makes the gas needle go left to 'F'.Ā It took me a while to figure out because gas pumps haven't looked like that since 1970.Ā It's definitely not a beer stein.Ā That's an expensive mistake.
Fuel dump indicator. Just like aircraft that have to dump fuel for an emergency landing, this will indicate when your vehicle is pumping fuel overboard in preparation for a crash landing.
The GPS, or Global Positioning System, indicator points you towards your destination through the intercommunication of those of satellites orbiting the earth in constant communication with your vehicle.
It's the fuel pump putting its hand on its hip while confusedly scratching its head with the nozzle because it, too, cannot remember which hole to use.

Left leaning liberal gasoline only. Ethanol blends are encouraged. You may get gas from the right, but that will require a reach around for manipulating the hose...
Just pointing the car preference to be fed with (F)uel or (E)lectricity. Because of the red arrow, we can see clearly that the driver disagrees with the car.
In a lot of cases it's there to tell you which way is left, though in some cases it's there to tell you which way is right. There is no indicator as to which arrow it is, though, so you'll want to consult an oracle for that information.
Most people don't know this but that's actually an uppercase Greek delta symbol, placed at a little bit of an angle just to save space.
In mathematics, the delta symbol represents the term "a change in". In this case the two symbols next to each other represent, "a change in" +"fuel level" (fuel level is what the gas pump symbolizes, of course).
It's a way for the accounting departments for major auto manufacturers to save 0.0003Ā¢ per instrument panel by only having to print the delta symbol + the fuel pump picture instead of writing out the words, "This gauge shows the change in fuel level as you drive," in their entirety.
The arrow shows which side of the road the gas station is on. In this case, the ones on your right are not suitable.
I always thought it meant the car can only turn left when is low on gas :(. Damn I'm dumb

Oh, and all this time, I thought it meant I could only use left-handed gas pumps. Silly me lol
It points to which side the gas tank is on. (Saying "wrong answers only" in a sub who's rules are to post wrong answers is a double negative which forced me into the uncomfortable position of having to do hours upon hours of research at my local library to find the actual correct answer to the question.)
