Gas smell in NYC being investigated

Officials have ruled out terrorism as the cause of a mysterious gas odor that spread through Lower Manhattan and Jersey City early Monday.

Maybe it's the pollution? And someone tell me when does NYC not smell like gas? For all of you out there not lucky enough to wind up in New York City, it doesn't usually smell like flowers. Actually, a smell of gas is an improvement.

8 million people in NYC. Most need transportation. For those of them that don't want to get stabbed on the subway, they are forced to use vechiles that run on gas. I may have just solved the mystery.
