Well, electrics and fuel-cells and super-ecological ICE engines are here and more are on their way.
But what's missing in alot of these is a local-area indication that the engine is indeed on and running.
Enter the Exhaustorator: a small-tank fed device that sits on top of the largest heat exchanging
component (or in the exhaust flume) to indicate to a mid-sized area that the engine is running.
Initial cost is low (it's a small tank and a heat-activated drip), and the cost of the fluid is underwritten by various companies, which is why you can count on coffee scent as well as pizza, barbecue and of course new-car. And for antique conversions "exhaust" smell.
Prank scents I'll leave mostly up to the imagination ( burning-wiring, skunk, body-odor...)

There was an airshow performer who had his sponsor's after shave as a scent in his smoke trails. [Klaatu, Jun 04 2008]

yes, I can see "Lavender-scented Motorl Oil", different premise, different delivery. |

This would be disgusting if there were too many scents, like standing in line with a bunch of old ladies all wearing different stinky perfumes...(fumes)... |

Fuel frangrances already exist. <link> |

I already advertise my local chippy via my diesel. |

mmmm..It's Suicidelicious!! |

yeah but just think of your local expressway during the morning "rush"; smell of coffee wafting through the air, or the afternoon ... smell of pizza. Local stores'd make a mint and they'd all have to introduce helicopter delivery service. |

BETTER THAN ACTUAL EXHAUST!! I get this, and I bun this. |

Um baked. Further if an hybrid or electric isn't moving the "engine" isn't running thus your system is somewhat pointless. Like a nostalgic "Remember the bad old days of unburned HC" spray. |

ummm..... yeah... so heres a thought... a little kid smells cotton candy comin from the exhaust pipe of your car as it idles to warm up. you get ready to leave only to find him DEAD! and that would be the comerecial for fragrant exhaust! lol |

Be afraid; be very afraid of the possibilities. Teenagers laughing at the foul odors they release as they drive by the Old Folks Home. Odors designed to camouflage your car in the fish market. Unrecognizable smells caused by fueling at more than one station. On the plus side of the dark side, drive by smellings would be less deadly than the current drive bys. |
