Anyone any idea why I have so much gasoline fume in car??
Actually getting serious now. After a drive I have a headache, bad taste in mouth. Car runs fine albeit very bad on feul economy. Awful stench of gasoline inside car, like way too much. . Thanks in advance.

Either the hatch isnt closed, exhaust leak, or the vent lines are not doing their job.

You could have a cracked filler neck. You get some pretty serious fumes especially if you fill the tank. From what I have read on here that this is a common problem. I would check the whole EVAP system.

Someone probably cut a hatch up top to change the fuel pump, and didnt seal it, lol

Is it only while you are driving? If you get in the car after it has been parked like overnight, does it have the strong smell?

Years ago I had a 2.8 Camaro. It had an small exhaust leak. But the hatch motor was broken. The smell used to get in the car that way. Just check the fuel lines. I would smell the oil and check plugs to see if it's running rich.
