Don't most cars have it on the right?

Not in the USA...

USA production models have them on the left.
Non-USA production models have them on the right.

To save costs, vehicles that are both USA and Non-USA market, have them on the right, since the majority of the world is right-hand drive.

Look at any US "domestic" vehicle that's been sold in non-USA markets, I bet it's on the left.

And if the gas pump on the gauge is showing the wrong side, and you drive a toyota, then a recall is coming.

I'm not sure that's true. The main Wiki article for this sort of thing states

"today about 66% of the world's people live in right-hand traffic countries and 34% in left-hand traffic countries."

and regardless of that, if they were all on the same side, it would screw up the flow at the gas stations. I jsut hate that the tahoe has it on one side and the Z on the other, because when its on the trailer on the way to the track, I have to reposition to fill both. I just always remember, our American cars are on the drivers side, foreign ones on the passenger side.

I have a 98 Taurus Sho with the door on the right
