This application of aromatherapy would apply the relaxing scent of lavender to the maddening crush of freeway traffic, subtly calming those who follow in your wake.

Coming soon: designer scented gasolines

       Better still, add scent to the tyres. Next time I'm at the drag strip I want to REALLY relax and savor the experience!

       You'd need to be burning oil for this to function as desired, though. That's generally indicative of bad things happening with one's vehicle.

       They already make stuff like this. Often it's used for drag racers who run on fuels other than gasoline (alcohol dragsters, nitromethane, etc) because those fuels often smell funky or make the drivers feel sick from the smell. They come in tons of different flavors, from grape to cherry and even pina coloda.

       I'm flattered. A search shows that [alexboy] registered, annoed on my humble idea, and was never heard from again.

       I personally receive a great relief of breath, whenever I smell (and inhale) the fumes off a go-cart track. The more exotic oils the better !!!!!!!!!!   

       Could be a reference for a start for a research project !!

       My idea's gone! Should I reinstate it?
