Default Car bogging..smells like gas when i get out

Lately my car runs fine in the beginning, but once I drive it for awhile it starts to bog between 3000-4000 rpms in 3rd and sometime 4th gear. When i stop the car and get out, I can smell gas. Anyone know what that could be? Running rich? Bad fpr??? Help.

The gas smell is the strongest from the muffler end of the exhaust system.

Check around your fuel rail for leaks. If the little washer that floats around in the fuel pressure regulator doesnt move around you might need to replace it.
