It's because Benzene is so volatile that it will rapidly evaporate and then it's density is low enough that it spreads out so quickly that in a very short time it's no longer dangerous. You basically have to crouch down and huff by the fuel nozzle or be pumping gas in a small enclosed space for any significant health impacts.
