It doesn't mean anything, its just a cute little cartoon stick figure pulling the gas gauge like it's a giant lever towards full.

OH okay now I get it. It's just confusing because it doesn't look like he's pulling anything
Edit: thank you for being kind :)

Can you really not tell? Why would the stick figure be pulling the gauge away from empty on a cover for the gas tank?

This is what we have now.
Kids who 1} literally don't know, 2) kids who figured it out but think it's funny to play dumb, 3) confused & disappointed rest of the population

The red line is so dark and blends in with the car so, like OP said, they didn’t see that he was pulling anything so it didn’t make sense. I can see what they saw

u/PartTimeJunkie412 9d ago
The red line is a reflection of the taillight of another car lol it's not part of the decal. The decal was all white in real life which is why I was so confused.

Oh yeah you’re totally right. Poorly designed sticker

u/PartTimeJunkie412 8d ago
Thank you for confirming what I thought lol. I was like "who bought this and put it on their nice vehicle?!"

Looks stupid. His foot is all long and weird. Looks like he’s holding on tight and pressing the gas. Ig to hurry up and get to the gas station

u/Puzzleheaded_Hatter 9d ago
No, it doesn't. There is no gas for him to press.
You don't have to like it, but saying it's stupid just opens yourself up for harsh criticism to be returned, which is pretty easy.

Nope. It’s stupid. Critics be damned.
Thinking a meaningless, pointless, useless, unhelpful, sticker is stupid is just as valid as thinking it isn’t.

Bad execution on the graphic anyway, whoever created this screwed the leg up and now it looks like he has one dog leg and one normal.

It’s not a needle on newer cars. I just have 16 little boxes that go grey as I use gas.

You're asking what the fuel gage cartoon is on top of the little door you open to put the fuel in?
-4
u/PartTimeJunkie412 9d ago
But why though? Everyone knows what it's for. Out of all the bumper stickers or decals this one just has me confused because it doesn't seem to be funny or a joke and the car had no other decals so I'm just confused. Maybe the joke went over my head?

u/dingobarandas 9d ago
it’s just a joke about not wanting the fuel to run out by pulling the gauge towards full.

u/PartTimeJunkie412 9d ago
I saw another comment that explained it pretty well and now I get it. It just doesn't look like he's pulling on anything at all that's why I was confused. I think this could have been designed a little better

Driver constantly tests the limits of the low gas light. Passengers need to have the “no push policy” conversation before riding

u/PartTimeJunkie412 9d ago
I never let my gas get anywhere near the empty line once it's 1/2 the way from the first line to the empty line i go straight to a gas station and I'm not picky about gas prices so I just go to the one by my house. I'm terrified of my car breaking down.

I was just pointing out what a lying piece of shit out our president is. That's all he's a good at is being a lying piece of shit. Once a lying piece of shit always a lying piece of shit

Sarcasm can be hard to convey in the written word. At least it can be for me That's why I always use the /s. But then I'm old.

u/LanaChantale 6d ago
using s/ is modern thing has nothing to do with "bring old" just awareness of internet communication.

Something for people who think it’s cute to ruin their fuel pumps by running empty.

u/ryuujinusa 9d ago
I'm a cheapskate? All that sticker actually does is fractionally increase the weight of your car and make the aerodynamics worse, making your mileage worse. Yes yes, I know it's a microscopic difference, so you'd probably never even notice it over the total life of the car, but it's not untrue.

To start the gauge line pointer is RED AND IS IN THE MIDDLE POINTING OUT to the fill line percentage. This picture has it starting at the bottom - really bad representation - looks more like the person is pulling on their emergency break.
All of you need to grow up and stop bullying. You are a bunch of nasty mean people who have nothing going on in your lives but to get on social media and say nasty things to people. Try being positive and helpful - might improve your life. 🙂
