Puzzle for the Day

Seat Puzzle
During a recent school trip to the zoo, I was sat at the rear of the bus.
I noticed a strange thing, Laura, Jessica and Wendy were all sitting on the left side of the bus.
Even more curious was the fact that Steven, John and Danielle were all sitting on the right side of the bus.
On which side was James sitting?
Solution (Previous Puzzle):
Yes.
The trip was a total of 120 miles, which at 8 miles to the gallon, used 15 gallons.
The outward trip of 60 miles was at 12 mph, which took 5 hours. The return trip was at 16 mph, which took 3.75 hours. Which is a total journey time of 8.75 hours, which meant that 8.75 gallons were lost.
So, 15 gallons were used for the trip, 8.75 gallons were lost, which is a total of 23.75 gallons. So the 24 gallons was enough for the return trip.
