Show of Hands

I do a lot of home improvement and stuff like that and I'm around has a lot and I know this is weird, but it's one of my favorite smells. I definitely see why people aren't fans though

The survey result is surprising. I never thought there would be a 50-50 percent chance of people liking and not liking the smell of fuel. I thought people tend to repulse the smell of gasoline naturally. I wouldn't have thought that there would be just as many people who repulse would love the smell of gasoline.

I like the smell of gasoline on nipples. 😱. Just kidding. But when I was younger I loved the smell of exhaust fumes, especially from buses. Weird I know.

What the fuck. Who likes the smell of gas?

Porn

My first job in high school was pumping gas. There is something about the smell on my hand that I like. Sounds strange but I like it.

If you smell it, something is leaking or there is incomplete combustion

My old daycare was across the street from a gas station, so the smell is nostalgic

If I smell gas I always light a match to see.....Boom.

I miss the smell of leaded gasoline. That was some potent stuff!

I like the smell of gasoline however it can kill

Mmm...polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons...carcinogenic, mutagenic, and teratogenic. In other words, they cause cancer, damage your DNA, and cause developmental disorders. They also happen to be the source of the odor of gas.

Yes, how could you not?

Race gas to be specific

The old rag in a bag

When I was little, I loved it!! (This explains a lot😲!)

I don't mind it but it's something I look forward to when I motor cross

I love it, but my youngest daughter hates it.

Mmmmm I love the smell of 100 octane low lead aviation gasoline.

I am a self-described "motorhead", who lives, and breathes motor sports.

A little. Soothing yet volatile.

Sunoco <3

Yes!!!

So, it's Not weird!?!
Hi, my name is JamJay and I enjoy the smell of gasoline.....

Wow. I do like the smell..and I thought I was the only one.

Mmm... Hydrocarbons.

It makes me feel funny, kinda like when I used to climb the ropes in gym class.

Yes, but not diesel

Not at all.

Yes. I remember an old grater parked in my grandpa's pasture. As kids, my brother and I liked to open the gas tank and smell the gas. We loved it.

No. It's intentionally unpleasant.

I can't stand the smell.

Yuck! It makes me nauseous.

I drive a gas truck so I'm basically immune to it.

I used to hate it, now I kind of like it. I actually really like it in the context of boats rather than cars. I don't know why since it's essentially the same stuff, but I've always enjoyed the smell of gasoline on my uncle's boat.

Can someone explain the reason why I like the smell of gasoline? Like on a scientific basis. In general, aren't toxic things suppose to repel us? It just seems a bit weird lol

I'm also fond of the smell of prop wash when you're behind a C-130 with its ramp down and all 4 engines screaming during engine running onloads/offloads

Yep, kinda. Although I don't like it enough to do the Tommy Boy rendition of Maniac around a gas pump.

I like the smell of napalm. In the morning.

Wow, this is weird! I actually do kinda like that first smell o' gas, just after I've stuck the nozzle in, and pulled the handle! I don't know why, I only know I do. Now, after the first couple whiffs have wafted up, then I'm good. Too much of a good thing, don'tcha know...😜

Avgas and racing fuel, yes

Hoppes #9 turns me on sexually

Wtf??? What's the appeal???

Yes. But I really love the smell of Avgas. It's amazing.

Thought I was the only one. Phew

Jet fuel and gasoline smell so good!

Followww meee

Not at all. Especially once the cheap kind with alcohol in it gets old and starts to smell a little like varnish. Avgas (100LL) smells pretty good for a few minutes, but then it starts to smell kind of sweet and gets to be too much of a good thing.

It alerts me.

Burnt jet fuel, YES!!!!!!
