You don't say whether the check engine light is on or not so I'll assume it's not. If it isn't the PCM is evidently happy with the way the engine is being controlled. That leaves other things like underinflated tires and driving habits. Vehicles with aluminum wheels have a problem with bead leaks. Accelerating slowly and anticipating stops are important. Drive as though there's a raw egg between your foot and the gas pedal.

My first questions would be - is the check engine light on and is it running rough ?
The most common reason for gasoline in the oil is a leaking fuel injector or faulty fuel pressure regulator.

Gas Smell

check under hood while it is running to see if there is gasoline dripping anywhere. You need to find it before it catches on fire. Use a bright flashlight and look at the fuel injectors and loser intake manifold as injector o-ring could be leaking. DO NOT use a lighter. Sorry, but I had to stress this. Gasoline does not burn. The fumes burn.

Is my 88 dodge caravan fuel injected?

I beleive the fuel pump is in the gas tank, have someone go back to the gas tank and someone else turn the key on, if the pump is good you should hear it working, if you cant then youve probably burned the fuel pump up. When you run them completly dry of fuel it only takes about 1.5 seconds to burn the electric fuel pumps up.
Good luck.
