Fuel pressure
I was just wondering if its normal to get a whoosh of air coming out of the gas tank when the gas cap is removed after driving. Mine used to do this, but notw it doesnt anymore... what does that mean?

the "woosh" of air is normal, and the lack of a "woosh" is normal, it just means the check/ cut valve has reached it's preset pressure/vac limits and has vented it for you...

This page explains how the whole system works:

There are test on FSM for both purge valve and check-and-cut valve.
The purge valve is a very easy check ... might be stuck open and allowing blow-by-gases and fuel vapors into the intake tract all the time.
