    Since it is coming from Kia I have to assume it won’t work correctly. Probably give you cancer.

      Hasn’t Kia turned their reputation around in the past decade or so? I feel like them and Hyundai used to be the butt of every shitty car joke, but they’re not that bad these days from what I understand.

      I would think that a Kia-branded version of gasoline fumes would fail to sufficiently cause cancer when huffed, or be disappointingly unlikely to cause death by spontaneous combustion.

    I had a fuel can tip over in the boot of my car once, and the vehicle stunk of petrol for about two weeks afterwards. I had to drive with the windows down for a few minutes every time I drove the car.

    If you really want your car to smell like petrol, a teaspoon of the stuff in the air vents like some type of essential oil will do the trick.

      My mom bought a BMW from her cousin that had an odd fuel line. Nothing was technically wrong but you could smell the fuel when the engine was on. Eventually she gave it back.

    I wonder if those are more popular with men.

    Maybe they could also give copies of the song Benzin by Ramstein, to listen while you sniff your nostalgic gasoline scented air “freshener”.

      Just one data point, but my ex wife would take a deep breath every time she was in a parking garage because she really liked that smell.
