Yep, the C6 is the same way, not a true indicator. I got that email
some time back and found it an unreliable bit of trivia. So quit
looking at the hose and look at which side of the gage the pump is on,
just as good. I believe that it is an incorrect interpretation of the
theory that it is the nozzle showing the location of the filler on the
car. It may have nothing to do with the filler location as it would
have to have a hose hanging down like a swinging dick for cars with a
rear center filler. Do they make those any more, not the swinging dick
but the center fill?
