People are only just realising their fuel gauge is more helpful than they ever knew
How many times have you looked at the fuel gauge in your car? Okay, don’t take too long thinking about that.
Instead, in all that time, did you ever realise it did this?

If your car doesn’t do it, then this might be the reason.
I have a vague feeling this was made into an EU-wide standard for new cars about 10 years ago but can't find a reference for that.

The arrows will magically disappear after Brexit. And the revelations kept on coming.
I was about 25 😂What about the plug thing though?? Look at your bathroom basin, for example. I didn’t know until about 3yrs ago that the dooberry in the back of the plug is designed to allow it to be stored on the chain thing! Bad description, sorry- see photos! pic.twitter.com/NhuTVQ8FYS
