My wife is very sensitive to fumes of any kind, but she's never noticed or complained about the smell of gasoline from my models, and that was before I switched to AV gas.

Likewise, my wife can detect me opening a can of lacquer thinner or something similar (3) stories away from my shop but has never once complained about the smell of gasoline in the house. Mostly because there is virtually no odor from the airplanes. Other than draining tanks, I take no special precautions to reduce the odor.
Oh regarding the wife, its OK for her to use nail polish remover and other stinky stuff but heaven forbid any odors coming from the shop ...... and I told her before we got married that everything I did in that shop would either be noisy, have an odor or create dust. I guess she forgot!
