Apr 8, 2018 at 21:04 comment added blacksmith37 Yes. Very likely "more".
Apr 6, 2018 at 23:44 comment added Anthony X @blacksmith37 so... short answer, not an odorant but one or more of the fuel components
Apr 6, 2018 at 20:10 comment added blacksmith37 A roomful of Amoco PHD chemists and chem engineers did not know which compounds caused the odor of gasoline in the '70s. They started a very expensive research project to determine the causes with the intention of improving /eliminating the odor.The Arab oil embargo came and it turned out customers did not care what gasoline smelled like, they only cared about the price. So the project was cancelled so I don't have an answer.

Feb 4, 2018 at 16:18 comment added Anthony X @Jacob That video comes as a total surprise. I have always found the odor of gasoline to be rather noxious, which is why I wondered about the presence of an odorant.
