Gas Fumes
I've noticed when I drive with my sliding glass open I get the smell of gas when driving. Any ideas?

Oh well you're probably right then. Other than the smell and mpg is there any obvious signs of running rich?

Re: Gas Fumes
Exhaust is getting sucked into the rear window. Probably a leaking exhaust.

Re: Gas Fumes
I seem to see more posts on bad leaking filler necks than anything..Put down some card board under your truck and check for drips or do you park it on concrete and see fuel stains where you park?

Re: Gas Fumes
if you can smell raw gas when you open the back window, more than likely its your fuel tank filler neck. should have a p0442 code aswell. i have the same problem, just have better things to spend $180 on then a filler neck. no real negative effect, besides the smell.
