Can you guys smell gasoline anymore? I remember when I was a kid I loved when my parents got gas cause it smelled so strong. I don’t smell it anymore. I can’t even enjoy that smell. It’s like when I was a pothead and got so used to having loud around that I couldn’t smell it anymore. I thought of this cause for some reason I can smell spray paint. Idk why. I havnt been using spray paint. Hopefully it’s some kind of gas leak and I’m gonna die soon

Gasoline is not really the same as it was when you were a kid

They did change the formula. Removed lead and added 10% ethanol. had a sweeter smell like high test. Now give a fucking headache and deteriorates to useless gunk quickly

Lead was good for engines

Very possible motors seemed to run longer back then when parts were simple. Don't ever remember dad having to pull pistons and rings in nothing until all this bs tech came out

Yep, a lot of the additives gasoline companies add to the gasoline make it a bit less volatile and creates less evaporative loss, aromatic vaporization is what gives gasoline it's characteristic smell.
