I suspect if your Mac was going to kill you your car already would have. Gasoline (in the USA) can be up to 5% benzene by volume.
I don't have numbers, but I suspect that one hot-day fill of your car exposes you to more benzene than anything that an entirely dry piece of personal electronics could outgas, ever.

- tlrobinson 18y agoBenzene would certainly be the least of your worries in that case.

- lutorm 18y agothat's what i was going to say, too. Probably negligible in comparison.
- ars 18y agoIf you smell gas strongly while filling up you are doing it wrong. First some states require vapor recovery, and second you are outside and your nose is not inches from the nozzle - you should not be getting exposed to much of anything.
