This is similar to the memories people tie to wood smoke. Wood smoke is also not healthy, but plenty of people like it in small quantities.
Scents can connect people to memories of times and possibly people from their past. Maybe memories as a kid of helping their dad change the oil, or times spent with friends. On the flip side, people who have had a mouthful of gasoline, or who have always disliked their hands smelling like gasoline or being greasy, or lived through smoggy cities, may have less favorable memories. Negative exposures to things can do that. Things are murkier for food-fuels like straight vegetable oil (SVO) and purified (but not denatured) ethanol.
