Civic is from the UK (RHD) and has fuel filler on left hand side??
Other Hondas seem to vary.
MB tends to have right hand side.
Histroically there have been a few insteresting cases which don´t work with that theory, like Jags dual tanks in the 70s and 80s and the old US standard of under the rear number plate.
Also, "cars from", what would that mean in this every more globalised world with sharing of parts and R&D and mfg all over the place?
