Wow... I never knew the smell of gas was so popular. I thought I was weird thinking it had an interesting aroma to it.

Gas, meh. Maybe saw gas (2 cycle mix) because my dad was a logger and he'd come home smelling like it. What really gets me is the smell of creosote. That really brings back memories of childhood.

They probably could. As I understand it, gasoline itself is odorless, but something is added to it so that a person's nose can detect it. Same thing is done with propane.

I've never heard that they added anything to gas. I've heard of them doing that to natural gas though.

for those of you who like the smell of gas you should write to Yankee Candle Company and suggest to them that they make a candle with that scent.

I'm pretty sure gas smell is actually gas and not additives - you smell it all over the units to produce gasoline at a refinery, in places that are far upstream of all the additive stuff they do.

Gasoline evaporates rather quickly, I'm sure you're smelling the gasoline vapors.

Natural gas is what the use the odor additives for.

Some... but more than the sweet smell of gasoline, I love exaust fumes from late 70's, early 80's pickup trucks (pre Catalytic converter era)

Incomplete combustion because the rusted out POS is running on 5 cylinders?

Yup, nothing like the smell of Napalm in the morning...

Seriously I like the smell of gas and I love the smell of aerosol cans, especially spray paint. No idea why...

Wait until you get some in your mouth from siphoning some, your view will change.

30 years later, I can still taste it.
