Hi Dan, I had a similar problem with a strong gasoline smell in my car last year. I was also getting bad gas mileage. I found that my fuel lines going from the pump were actually bad and leaking gas. So I ended up replacing mine. For some odd reason the mechanic said there was a piece of plastic floating in my fuel tank...? But I've had no fuel problems since.
