Not Ranked
What I noticed back in 1968 when I had a FE in my Galaxie 500 as well as today with the FE in the ERA is that if you let the hot engine cool while inside the garage, the large quantity of gas in the typical double pumper carb, evaporates to some extent due to the heat of the engine.
What I learned back in the day was to let the car cool down outside and not in the garage. The vapors "gas out" outdoors and there is much less in the garage.
Here in the Northeast, our winter gas has huge percentages of Ethanol from November thru April. The Ethanol seems to be more volitile and gasses out or is somehow more noticable to the nose. I have noted, that since November when it is really cold here in CT that the gasiness of the ethanol petrol mixure is more noticable...
