The smell of gas is coming from the back or under neath the car. So far I haven't seen no leaks.

well if the fuel press does not drop the smell could be coming from the evap sys. be caeful check the fuel filter and all the line some are hard to see.

IF IT SMELLS IT CAN BURN

i'm on long island too. had the same problem last year. search on fuel smell and you will find that there are a few causes - leaking fuel pulsation dampener, leaking fuel pressure regulator, leaking injectors and check valves that need to be replaced. Either way, you need to have the car looked at before it goes up in flames.

Just b/c you don't see fuel on the floor as a leak doesn't mean it ain't leaking.

This is also a symptom of a bad LIM gasket, but lets hope that isn't the problem.

Stick a couple of cheapy fire extinguishers in the cargo bins.

it might be the pulsation dampener....... dont ignore it because a fire can start!

Have you just recently tuned/adjusted your car? I smell gas after I go WOT, but mine comes out the tail pipe. Runs way too rich. At least I hope thats the problem. After hearing the other ideas I am going to check those out.
Good Luck
