Thousands of times more pollution is emitted in the process of drilling and refining fuel than burning fuel.
So although your eyes don't burn, somebody else has Voc, lead,mercury , cadmium and other goodies in their water and air instead.
Perhaps your eyes burning would tell you your doing something wrong and motivate cars/semis off the road altogether in concentrated city center situations.
