Default OH SNAP. Gas smell in car, ugly gas mileage.

Ok i was just driving to work yesterday and normaly i can get to work on 5 bucks and back, but today i had to use about 15 in gas and back and i am getting a very strong raw gas smell in my car. i checked my return line and it seems good. anyone have any idea what it could be?
This is in my DA with a b18b swap.

check you engine for leaks, it could be in the lines, the fuel rail, the injectors, (rubber surrounds) a large number of places

Yea check around the rail, injectors, filter, all the lines in the engine bay, and then jack up the car and look underneath all the way to the gas tank. I remember my brother-in-law's Civic hatch that stood outside for a reall long time with no engine and the fuel line got corroded or something and sprung a few leaks, so don't forget to check that. How many miles do you have on the car?

A bad o2 would make the check engine light come on. If it is on then read the code that it's throwing and check what it says to be sure that it's the o2.
