I'd check/have it checked for a gas leak NOW! Before the car turns into a fireball.

Get it Checked ASAP
Don't take a chance... you should never smell gas... ever in a modern car.
When CA changed it's fuel formulation several years ago there was a rash of car fires.
The new fuel was very hard on rubber fuel hoses and they would disintegrate from the inside out.

It could be a leaking injector, fuel filter, or hose.
