Intellectually I know different kinds of warmth should be the exact same. Temperature is simply how fast the molecules are shaking and what heat source heated them shouldn't influence anything. But the heat caused by gasoline feels different to me. That sunshine captured by million year old tree ferns and ancient algae broken down to oil over eons creates a warmth when burned that feels unlike anything else. But it must be all in my head, right?
I’ve gotten a mouthful of it syphoning it from one tank to another. Not only does it smell great, but it tastes better than most cheap liquors, and some expensive ones don’t drink it though

Love a smell of phosgene in the mornings and dare asking what is wrong with US? :)

Leaded or unleaded?
Diesel smells quite nice too.
So does kero when you get a whiff of it when they're refuelling a plane.

Leaded is still a thing somewhere?

Some aviation fuel is still leaded, if I'm remembering rightly.

I'm just showing my age
You can probably get it for some classic cars that haven't had their engines altered to unleaded

I love the smell of 2 stroke, particularly with bean(castor) oil in the fuel mix. My ATC 250R runs a rich mix too.

You can't make me curious like that and then tell me to not try it.

Ever tried gamen? It's also used in the creation of Beverage of the Gods.
