Ted Kennedy passed a law in the 1960's that made all auto makers alternate side and rear accessed gas filling provisions to keep car thieves from stealing cars and putting gas in them when they don't know where to put the gas. Gas stations were then supposed to have cameras to catch the confused motorists and then call the cops to catch the criminals while they were still tying to find the gas filler spout.

It is best you know where to put your gas or you could be arrested for grand theft auto...
