All modern cars have a small pointer on the gas gauge that tells you which side the filler is on.

There was a Chevy in the mid to late 60's that had the filler in the middle of the rear of the car behind the license plate.  Other than that, American cars all had the filler on one side or the other and there doesn't seem to be a preference one way or the other.  A manufacturer will produce different model cars with the filler on either side.  It makes for great fun when pulling into a filling station in the rental car.

I can rotate the TR3 filler to where ever i please but I keep the hing on the left to be consistent with the TR6.  Since I am accustom to this orientation I will keep it as such.

Not sure what is correct for the 6 but my 3, 4 and 6 all open from
driver side to passenger. I am used to filling up from the drivers side.
Funny thing is my truck and wifes car also fill from the drivers side. I
guess I just like to make life a bit simpler.
