You won't smell a small quantity pure ethanol or

smells because of the organic compounds from the fruit, grain, or maybe
the yeast, I cannot remember.


First off, we're not talking about a small quantity here; we're talking about
nearly 10% of the fuel. That means several gallons, at a minimum, and that's
just for one tank of gas. Secondly, the alcohol used in the 70's was ethanol
made from corn; a distilled liquor. In essence, pure grain alcohol. It stinks
(as any old fratrat can tell you).

Why do men's hearts beat faster, knees get weak, throats become dry,
and they think irrationally when a woman wears leather clothing?
Because she smells like a new truck.
