I have heard that before also but it you keep the drafts and windows shut it
seems to me I smell nothing. It may be odorless but if you keep everything
shut they do not seem to account for that. So it would depend.
Stopping at a light has got to be the worst too since they are all spewing
and you not being able to get out of the way of the carbon monoxide.
