<div>My Dad bought a new Series 5 Alpine in early 1968. I recall the gas cap with the hinge toward the front of the car. I was rather interested in gas caps at the time as a previous car he had owned was a two stroke DKW with the warning about the need to
add oil to the gas when filling the gas tank. </div>

Far lower aerodynamic drag with the hinge in front if you ever forget to close it.

Hello All:<br>
<br>
<font face="Arial">At a car show today, one of the spectators pointed out that the gas cap on my Tiger and a<br>
<font face="Arial">friend's were or<font face="Arial">iented in opposite directions. One has the hinge on the cap toward the rear<br>
<font face="Arial">of the car and the other has the hinge facing forward. Does any<font face="Arial">one know if there is a
<br>
<font face="Arial">"correct" or preferred direction? If not, is there an argument for pointing it in one direction<br>
<font face="Arial"><font face="Arial">or another?<br>
