Re: 04 4-Runner and Burning smell
I've answered this. It is other cars. If you had done some research on the issue you would realize this.
California gasoline is required to be low in sulfur content. That is why you don't normally smell it in California. Even fewer cars in CA smell than in other states.
If you are worried, don't buy it. Just don't worry out of ignorance of the issue, and don't spread uninformed claims. You have a responsibility to read about issues before you spread rumors. Live up to that responsibility.
Here are some links - read.
