I've noticed this too. Avgas seems to evaporate quickly, and stink much
less
than automobile gasoline. After I use my GATTS jar, I can leave it out
during
the rest of a pre-flight (a few minutes) then put it back in my flight
bag.
When I get home, there is no detectable odor in the flight bag.

I can confirm what you say about avgas vs. auto gas. After having used
100LL for its cleaning ability, I tried using auto gas to clean some car
parts. I could barely stand to be near the stuff. It smelled much worse
and was highly irritating. One experiment with auto gas was enough to make
me stop.
