I thought the photos in the paper of the damaged wildlife and ruined beaches was a good illustration of what we breath when the stuff isn't spilled.

The explanation behind these reports, as I recall, is the relative lack of air circulation within motor vehicles and the fact that what new air motor vehicle occupants do get comes through air intakes at exhaust-pipe level. I vaguely remember someone posting a link to a peer-reviewed article supporting this hypothesis when I expressed doubts. Can the admins or others re-post those links, or offer others to support this point? Thanks.
