Perhaps gas carts aren't smelly from the driver's perspective, but I think they are smelly if you're riding in the back seat.
Or if you're driving behind one. And really smelly in tunnels.
Just one opinion, and you'll get many!

Some comments here indicate a need for some clarity.
So here goes. To burn one pound of gas in an internal combustion engine, that is about one pint, 8 pints to a gallon. You will need 14 pounds of air to burn that one pound of gasoline, IF AND ONLY IF THE ENGINE IS TUNED AND RUNNING PERFECTLY. So then out the exhaust you will have 15 pounds of the following items:
H2Ovapor, CO, CO2, NOx, and Unburned hydro carbons.
Do you want to breath and smell this stuff? Hey you have no choice, it is in the air, in the tunnels and it surrounds you daily. The debris is in the air and in your eyes. Early at Auschwitz, the Germans used auto gas exhaust to kill thousands of people quickly. Gas was a premium, so they switched to the other gas as it was easier to just pour it in from the roof of the buildings containing the unsuspecting Jews etc.
So now sit back and relax, buy electric and help to clean up the environment for all.
From another posting, I will add, if you get the automatic battery watering system it really is great and efficient.
