Default gas smell coming from car.

ok when i drive my car regular. it seems just fine and everything.

but when i was racing it last night up a mountain. it seemed like when we came to a stop, we could smell gas. i would guess it's my car cuz my fren was driving a corolla up. is the gas not being burned up then or sumtin? new o2 sensors needed?

peace out

Didn't you just seafoam your car? You might pull a plug or all of them and see what they look like.
