if you smell gas then you are either leaking somewhere or not burning enough fuel

Exactly check to see if your plugs are getting dirty. Also you could have a bad air/fuel mix causing to "flood" your motor. When I had an exhaust leak that happened because the computer thought my motor needed more fuel causing it to smell like gas when I punched it

I don't know the background on you or your car(IE: Whether you've had the car a while or just bought it). If you just bought it, check the fuel pump cover under the rear seats. Back when my pops owned a car dealership he had a civic come in and it reeked of gas in the car, he pulled the back seats to see the cover missing. Just a thought.
