Does your exhaust pipe sit behind a square white cover and a black plastic cap?

Default have you traced your fuel lines from the tank to the filter etc?

could be a start of a leak or even a hole in the vent tube. I'm pretty sure a large leak will trigger a CE light... but I would start under the car and then move to the front to see if a fuel injector is leaking.

I never smell raw gas fumes except if I overfill the tank or spill some down the side of the car.

Default 18 or 19, 8-9 mpg when running hard? Sounds rich to me...

Granted, I'm stock but I get 25-26 consistently. How many miles on the car? Maybe you need new O2 sensors?

Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing my exhaust.

Default What if the answer was: smells only at WOT and mpg had dropped...

from about 18-19 mpg to 15-16mpg over the last few months? No codes though. Running rich?
