I have the smell of gas inside my 2004 Monte Carlo, it started over a week ago, no sign of gas leak and gas mileage is still good. Anyone have any ideas?

I'd use a fuel pressure gage and check correct fuel pressure. Once correct pressure builds up, see if pressure holds for a bit with everything off? If pressure drops like rock, you have a fuel pressure leak. Another thought would be evap leak?
How long since a tune-up? Any applicable trouble codes?

I am thinking that it may be your fuel injectors. You may have one gone bad or the O- rings may need replacing. At least that is what the gas smell was caused by my 1990 model.

This could be your fuel pressure regulator.

No doubt valve seals,the oil gets burned so you usually can't see it.Normal for GM motors,actually the small amount of oil will help the longevity of the engine.They can be changed in a few hours but I would leave it alone.When they get really bad if the car sits and idles you will see some smoke. The seal is just a small o-ring ,they get brittle and fall off.The shop can use air pressure at the spark plug hole to keep the valve up,compress the valve spring and replace the seal.

Gas is draining faster than usual, and smell of gas while driving

Most likely you have a leak in a gas line or a small hole in your gas tank. I only suggest this because I just went through that with my truck. The gas may not drip fast enough for you to see any signs of a leak. Try parking and idling you car over concrete or some other surface that's light in color. Use a flashlight to look under the car and around the gas tank for a possible drip. I'm no expert - just sharing my knowledge from past experience. Gas is expensive! Good luck!!

your heater core is leaking it is the only thing that can leak inside the car. it is a big pan it the **** to change you must remove your dash the part is like 30-50 bucks but labor will be at least 400 at indepnndant shop but it should be replaced asap to prevent more extensive damage

Getting nasty gas mileage

Get a good professional tune up. Then, drive as though there was an egg between your foot and the gas petal.

Gas smell

Well it sounds like a problem ....either there is a hole in gastank or a hole in the gas line somewhere ....if it smells after you start then it it is probly in the line coming from the tank....if you park on a clean driveway or somthing ...start the car and let it run for a bit and then either look under to see if it is dripping somewhere , or move the car and see ,then you can tell about where it is leaking ...would get it fixed soon , if it gets bigger then the car won't start if it doesn't get enough gas .
Hope this helps

Coolant leak

It most likely your heater core if you can smell it inside the car and check the passenger side floor it will be wet. i could smell it for a few weeks before it made it to the floor.
