At cold temperatures (below freezing), there is a very strong smell of gasoline inside the car until the engine warms up. As far as anyone can tell, it's caused by contraction of the rubber fuel lines under the intake manifold on the passenger side of the engine. It seems like this could easily be a fire hazard, certainly a health hazard, and possibly an emissions issue as unburned gasoline is essentially released into the atmosphere.
