Benzene is a constituent of gasoline like several other compounds. Benzene just happens to be a regulated carcinogen that can contaminate air, soil, or groundwater if it is released.

The octane number increases. Also, benzene, like all aromatic hydrocarbons, tends to burn less cleanly than paraffins.
