thats not bad economy really. i get about the same from my v6 camry, all depends on how happy your right foot is i guess. give us a bit more detail about the petrol smell, cause generally when your filling up the car you will smell the fumes, or by this do you mean inside the car?

the smell of petrol is inside the car, my mechanic told me that could be the reason why, my car isnt drinking but losing petrol.

hmm, maybe have a look at the seal around the pump...? which is under the back seat. im not too sure to be honest, but like i said my car gets the same mileage as you.

Hi Jacob,

Was the smell there prior to removal of the Gas? if not, then there's a leak somewhere. I had a fuel leak a while ago after replacing a head gasket. For me, it was my injector seals. Have the injectors been removed during any service? Once the injector comes out, the seal on it MUST be lubricated with fuel otherwise it will rupture on insertion causing leaks. The leak was very minor so there was no noticeable effect on fuel economy, and the vapors entered the cabin through the air inlet for the air conditioning. I guess checking the fuel lines around the engine for leaks would be a place to start.
