I love the smell of high octane race fuel and I was wondering why the reason why it smells that way.

I'm not sure, but everything on or in a car smells good.

Many high octane racing fuels are ethanol-based, which gives it a sweet smell when burned. Actual high-octane gasoline doesn't have this smell.

If we're going for the sweet smell of ethanol, try fermenting some fruit and rubbing it on, lol, and if you don't like bats, they apparently don't like the smell. Read the article: http://www.springerlink.com/content/e4577049jnj88317/

Do you mean like drag racing? Where they use Nitro-Methane. I think that is what you are refering to. Same smell model airplane fuel has .

Its more refined and less raw than low octane fuel.
