Fuel HELP!!!!

My problem is as follows, i get horable fuel economy. i have a 355 with edelbrock performer carb and intake (carb#1405) i have tryed changing meetering rods, but nothing seems to help. when i first start the car, it is as though the line always holds fuel pressure, and is flooding the carb overnight, because when i start it i get this big blue flooded smoke out the pipes, and sometimes you can even smell fuel when the car isnt running. i drive about 36 miles a day for work, and it takes a quarter tank of fuel to do JUST that. i have to figure this out, or i wont be able to aford my car anymore. ANY BUYERS.

ne help would be greatly appreciated.
thanx, ian.
