My dad had a '68 Chrysler Newport with the filler behind the plate too. A real pain to keep the nozzle in.I had a Chevy that was set up in that fashion.
My parents had a Pontiac that was set up the same way.

The line is shorter.Two questions for Costco members:
1. Why pull up to the pump that's on the opposite side of your filler neck?
2. Why squeeze the nozzle when you can use the trigger lock?

1. As stated - there are signs telling you this is possible. The entrance to my Costco Fuel Center favors the right side of the station, so the left-most line is usually the shortest. My fuel filler is on the driver's side, but if that's the pump that is open, it's no problem to stretch the hose.Two questions for Costco members:

2. Within the past year or two, our Costco had new pump handles installed (see pics). They have an accordion-style cover over the dispenser. The cover must be compressed a certain amount before fuel is allowed to flow. Sometimes I can compress the cover, wedge the nozzle into the filler hole, and lock the handle in place. Other times, the accordion cover wants to keep pushing the nozzle out and stops the fuel from flowing, so I have to stand there and keep everything in motion.
Second, yes, if you can't decipher that Costco members are most likely the upper echelon with regards to intelligence of the sector of society that goes out and buys their own goods, then you're behind the curve.
The Costco members around here are most certainly not the upper echelon of anything. As I said in a previous post, the Costco members here (well, there--Costco is 11 miles from where I live) by and large reflect the lower to middle class area that it's in.
That's funny. What's lower to middle class in Northern VA? Under $500k/year annual household income?
The issue is in the other 48 states that we peasants have to pump our own gasI drive up, the attendant takes my CC, and the car gets fueled. I don’t even need to leave the car if I don’t want to. Whats the issue?
I almost always pull up to the opposite side, the pumps are designed for it but don’t tell anyone. Here is the perfect example literally one hour ago. (I do this at Costco and Sam’s Club, 1 mile from each other)Two questions for Costco members:

No.What happened? ...some union denied you membership?
No consideration, and they want to be noticed.That's a problem around here, but for a different reason. Dude has to stay at the pump handle, so he turns his music WAAAY UP so he can continue to listen to whatever.
At least if the handle would lock, they might get back into their car and I wouldn't have to hear it. Why do some people want to "broadcast" their music and destroy other individuals peace and quiet?
