There is a difference between the smell of RAW gasoline and partly
burned exhaust fumes that go through a cold converter that doesn't
clean them up. I think the OP was smelling the latter.
I think some of you have been on a wild goose chase for quite awhile.
=================================================
That's a possibility. We have been going on a rather subjective observation
that it was a strong gasoline smell, but if it was just the cold engine
exhaust he was smelling you are spot on.

Too late - I was a senior communications field engineer for a Fortune 100
company from about 1990 to about 2005. Now a senior IS field tech for the
same company; more challenging, more troubleshooting, pays better, get
stranded in some of the most beautiful places in Northern Arizona. Among
other duties, I determine where microwave system troubles originate and go
there with what I expect to need to correct the problem - which can include
damage from lightning strikes - and I have to make it happen better than 9
times out of 10. I describe the job as "taking Computer Age skills to the
end of Bronze Age roads in any weather at any time of day or night." I have
been a troubleshooter professionally since August 10, 1970, after I got my
FCC First Class Radiotelephone license at age 17, and as an amateur since I
was 14 years old. I have done essentially all the maintenance on the cars in
my family since moving to Arizona in 1974, taking most of them beyond the 20
year mark. (BTW, I have never in my life had a grade lower than an A on any
physics test.) Your qualifications?

At 17. You talk a big game but never take the field. Since 2/3 of applicants
failed the test the first time around it isn't as trivial as you make it out
to be. Actually, element 3 (not element 4) was the one that got most people.
Several questions in the real test had more than one right answer: In a
transmitting tetrode, when the plate is tuned to resonance the (A) plate
current rises (B) screen current rises (C) cathode current drops (D) grid
current drops. I remember it because it was the most esoteric question on
the test, and my favorite. The answer was (C); although B was also correct
it is not used as an indication of resonance because it can be the result of
other operating conditions. (A is simply wrong, D is an indication of
improper neutralization.) But I'm sure you would have breezed through, what
with your superior abilities and all.
BTW - if the book still refers to first and second class licenses you should
retire it, even if it is the classic study guide "Electronic Communication"
by my friend in the San Leandro Amateur Radio Club, Robert Shrader. The
"class" licenses were replaced by General Radiotelephone licenses around
1985, when only the international classes of stations were retained as
requiring them. The bottom line is: before I was old enough to buy tobacco,
but smart enough not to, I was licensed to be employed as chief engineer at
any radio or television broadcast station or any other transmitting site in
the US.
So, again, what are your qualifications? What are you hiding?

No - you are still thinking like a teenage girl. This is not about your
petty personal hangups, it is about automobiles.
If you read almost any other contributor's posts you will get the idea. Your
perspective is grossly abnormal - most guys stop thinking like that in their
mid teens - and your obsession with personal issues is just plain creepy.
Like I said, write like a man or go away.

That says it all. You have no qualifications whatsoever. We suspected as
much but at least we heard it from you. That explains why you refused (were
unable?) to stay on topic and squirmed whenever the topic became in the
least technical. It also explains why the big bluff of having "physics" but
never delivering.

That is the most bizarre and meaningless thing you have written here yet,
and that is really saying something. I don't know exactly what your problem
is - the source of your intellectual and social dysfunctions - but I hope it
is something you can straighten out. If it is a substance problem you can
kick it; the real world is nowhere near as ugly as the one you are showing
us. If you are suffering from bipolar disorder a doctor may be able to help.
All I am sure of is that you are currently one seriously messed up
individual.
