Okay, I'm hearing that a lot of people like the smell of gasoline... Why, and is something wrong w/them?

Question: Obviously, it's bad to breathe gas and it's smell should automatically make you back off... Have these people just breathed in too deeply too many times at the gas station, etc... and gotten addicted? Poison shouldn't be an attractive smell! Also, does this mean their sense of smell is actually damaged or that some wires are crossed somewhere?

Answers:
Actually, from a chemistry standpiont, gasoline is made up of aromatic hydrocarbons which call it evolution or whatever you want... our brain has chosen to consider aromatic hydrocarbons to be, in general, good smelling. Thereby it stands to reason that many people would think gasoline smells good.
