Wierd problem (smell)
Ok so when i take my car and go around 110-130 mph i start to smell this really terrible smell. Idk what it is it smells like someone just ripped some *** really badly. It smells terrible and only happens when i speed. I thought it might be my tires burning but i lean down and smell them and theres nothing wrong its wierd. I think it may be something with the gas. It might be the o2 sesor idk. Also another thing every time i refuel it tells me how many miles ive driven since refueling i want it to tell me mpg not how many miles ive driven thanks in advance.

It's a Toyota thing my friend. This happens typically when you accelerate under wide open throttle for a short, but sustained amount of time. Logic tells me that the sulfur smell has something to do with the pollution controls/catalytic converter.

As for the smell, I've heard about so many complaints about it. It's reported to be noticed at 180 - 200km/h (110 - 120mph) speed.
However, I myself never experienced it. I should note though that it took me about 20 minutes of slow city driving before I got to the highway where I pushed the pedal to 125mph and drove for an hour and a half, and I noticed nothing of what you're describing.
