On NPR's "Car Talk" radio show this was one of their puzzler questions a few months ago:
It turns out that it is almost universal for the fuel filler to be on the _opposite_ side of the exhaust pipe. Of course, this won't help you if the car has dual exhausts!
As for

I've learned to look for the little arrow on the gauge.
