Yes. Gasoline and sawdust isn't a combination I'd care to brave.
You brought this to mind:
"Rich the makes of motor whirring
Past the pine plantation purring
Come up Hupmobile, Delage
Short the way our chauffeurs travel
Crunching over private gravel,
Each from out his warm garage."

One doesn't see many Hupmobiles, or Delages for that matter, at the local gas station these days.
