I thought gas smelled good when I was growing up, and I now think it smells pretty bad. I was never a smoker, so I never had my sense of smell blunted that way. I think that the gas of our youth was at least somewhat different than what it is now.
My best friend smoked for about 20 years and then quit. He said he was amazed at how much his sense of smell improved a couple of months after he quit smoking, and how much better food smelled. He had forgotten how good things can smell, since everything smelled like smoke. Unfortunately one of the side effects of everything tasting and smelling better was that he ate more and gained a bunch of weight after quitting smoking. Something to consider...
I love the smell of new tires, which doesn't smell good at all to my wife. But most cheese smells to me like vomit, and lots of people think cheese smells good. Maybe it is differences of perception, maybe even how we are hard wired.
But yes, I think gas smells a whole lot different than it did 40 or 50 years ago. Maybe the pleasing odor had to do with the tetraethyl lead that most gas used to include. Interesting topic!
