Oh the other day I moved the car and noticed some white smoke from the exhaust...does that help? Still thought the car was just serviced and they said nothing was wrong. Its under warranty (bought an extended earlier this year) so im not overly concerned but I would wanna take it in and point out something specific.

I am almost finished running the fuel additive on enough tankfuls (took me 3 tanks, but just one bottle in the beginning) I mentioned earlier, precisely to deal with the ethanol issue in my tank (and probably some crud left over from Mexico) and hope to talk about this in a bit.

wait so if i use engine addative i can get rid of the smell? What kinda should i use?

Bad combustion can lead to that smell, and especially with higher air temps. The one that I recently recommended (and it's a Florida-made product) is this one I recently talked about, https://www.clublexus.com/forums/rx-...10-states.html since here in Florida we are prone to the ethanol issue.

My 97 LS 400 has strong gas smells in the passenger compartment especially after sitting for a while. The smell is better after driving but never goes completely away. The trunk is real bad. There are no gas stains under the car

that sounds like a different problem...take it to a shop to check for leaks.

Did you ever resolve this issue? I'm having the same issue. No one can diagnose it.
Thanks.
