WHYYYY don't cars keep things uniform. Example - I have a 2000 Mazda 626. Gas tank on driver's side. This week, I'm driving a 2004 Mazda 3 - gas tank on passenger side. WHYYYYYYY

no offense but that car won't last long. Mazda uses a lot of cheap parts to persuade people to buy them thinking they are going to get all kinds of stuff like HP, Acceleration and "power steering".
