Default car smells like gas inside when starting -- 05 S4 avant...?!???

Maybe 4000 miles on the engine. I just noticed a couple of times in the past two days, that when starting the car after it's been sitting for awhile, I catch a strong smell of gas inside the car. Average temp outside has been 45-55 degrees; car usually having sat for at least an hour; AC on Econ, no recirc. Any ideas on what to check?

Long time ago I had this happened to me on 2 of my previous cars - a '84 4000 quattro and a '87 Integra. In both cases this was caused by a leaky fuel injector. Could only smell it after the car was stopped for awhile.
