The 4 bonds per carbon is right. I'm just not sure if the double bonds
between carbons like I drew (C6H6) or two hydrogens per carbon (C6H12)
is more stable. I think the extra hydrogens would probably be more
stable, assuming they were available. I think either one should be
possible, depending on circumstances.
But what do I know? Dammit Jim, I'm a Computer Programmer, not a
Chemist!
This is autox content, really! Fuel is full of bezene rings like
these. Although a few oxygens tossed in would make it burn
cleaner and probably knock less, if I correctly recall what I've
read about that sort of thing.
