Oh, wait -- I forgot about those silly *high wings* and that whole "find a

Many high wing planes have a method of checking the fuel without a
ladder (many provide a small step). The other great thing they provide
is the ability to check the fuel sumps without crawling on wet, dirty
ground and the ability to tie down without having to crawl on the ground
too :-)
