Fuel Fragrance?!?
Ok...
So last night, I was perusing a Summit catalog looking over fuel pumps, and I came across this:

Uhm...Personally, I LIKE the smell of racing fuel! But, obviously, there's a market for this stuff....Go figure.

I love the smell of gas…
Have you ever been pumping gas and when you are done. Just before you hang up the pump you get a drop or two on your hand…...then you have to sniff it!

It was even better before unleaded. It reminds me of my childhood when Dad would stop the car on vacation and we all hopped out at the gas station...

Well, I still won't forget the first time I smelled nitromethane fuel burning.
If you've never had a chance to smell it, it's something that you'll never forget. Pomona back in 2004, went out there to watch some drag racing (at the time, I lived 45 min. from the drag strip) and got my first whiff of it...WOW.
Eyes were watering, and the smell is VERY distinct. Gotta love it, though!

Nitro Fragrance is very nice indeed!
It would be like catnip on cruise night with everyone wondering "what the heck is that guy running in that thing?"

Didn't the old Jolly Rancher Top Fueler have Jolly Rancher scented exhaust back in the 70s/80s?
This actually wasn't what I thought it was...I thought somebody had actually bottled the smell of 110.
Now THAT I would buy.
