you can see molecules of gasoline? maybe you've been breathing the fumes too long?

Are you sure it is gasoline???

Do you have a cat. converter or did you take it off???

Is your timing adjusted properly???

Is your O2 sensor working properly?

All these can be the problem...

How do you drive mostly? High revs or low???

Try to wind the engine a bit if you haven't recently... under "wind" I mean go on the highway and drive in 3rd or 4th gear on aprox 6000 rpm (whatever does not brake the law) and keep the rpm steady (no oscilation)... drive like that for 5-10 minutes...

After that, check exhaust again... there should be no gasoline anymore...
