You shouldn't drink it. Virtually *every* substance is toxic, as long
your intake is too much. Easting too much tomatoes is poison as well.
But *toxic* in the sense as, e.g. mercury is, no.
> And also, is gasoline fumes carcinogenic?
Yes. It contains benzene C6H6 and this is a main carcinogen. And of
course in some countries the leaded fuel is still sold which contains
the toxic Pb(C2H5)4.
