    Lately I noticed that after each fillup there is the smell of gasoline
    in the passenger compartment for a while. What could cause that? I have
    a '94 Accord LX.

    Check the gas cap: they're designed to vent fumes if the pressure gets
    too high, but if the spring goes or the vent sticks open, it will leak
    fumes all the time, especially if the weather is hot.

    Had the same problem with my '87. New gas cap for about $7 was a simple
    fix.

    But the gas cap is outside of the passenger compartment, so how would
    the fume get inside with closed windows?
