Default Cool, that would be a good idea.
I drive to the track with the tank in front of my passenger front seat, but I also drive with my windows wide open.

Default Just find a place to buy it where you are going. The smell of gasoline takes a LONG time to go away.
if you were to spill any, it's even worse.

Worse yes, but stronger no. Race fuel simply has a more TERPENTINEY smell.

Default Race fuel usually smells pretty ;) But down at moroso, their 100 octane.
Stunk my whole car up, when I threw the empty 5 gallon tank in my trunk. It was unbearable.

But yah, 100 and 104 has a nice sweet smell to it.
