    Park on a blacktop paved driveway and let it idle for 10-15 minutes and look under the car. If gas is leaking it will surely makes its way to ground. If you don't see anything then its probably vapor from your charcoal canister you smell. The charcoal doesn't last forever you know. If you do see fuel then find the fuel filter against the firewall and check that.....follow the line up into the fuel rail and check it. The plastic cover that protects the injector wiring can be removed if you can't see good. Then check your injectors. If its not leaking in any of them places them its all going into the engine (assuming the lines from the tank upto the fuel filter in the engine bay are good)...but if they were bad you would see fuel puddled underneath some part of the body of the car as well.
    In the end...it doesn't even matter.
