Answer 1

Because petrol have a good smelling chemical

Answer 2

You are not alone! I love the smell of gasoline and a lot of my peers do. One of my teachers admitted it as well. You will find your love of gasoline can come from your DNA structure or can even be inherited from your parents. (Seriously, there is a good chance your mom or dad is a gas junkie too!) Another reason that you may love the smell of gasoline can be from childhood nostalgia, which has been discussed by psychiatrists. Studies show that smell actually triggers memories, and that is why you may find people who like smelling the most weirdest things like smelly socks or even diapers. The bad news is that Gasoline is not good for your body whether you drink or smell it. Gasoline is made up of Benzene and other hydrocarbons and apparently Benzene is the cause for some types of blood cancers. If you take a couple of big whiffs of Gasoline then it is very easy for you to become addicted. If you are filling up your car, try to resist the urge of breathing it in heavily as it only takes a few big whiffs to develop a high!
