2009 Gas smell inside the car
Not sure if anyone else has had this issue before. But I have started to notice a slight fuel smell while I am driving my car? I have no idea what this could be. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many, many threads talk about this. I would check the plugs ASAP if I were you!

I had this happen to me after changing the spark plugs. you need to make sure that those are in tight or you will get a gas smell. Lesson definitely learned there.

Yes, very important that you take care of the spark plugs NOW! If one blows, repairs to the engine will be very, very expensive to fix.

A bad gas cap will cause that smell. Try replacing it.
