I have a v6 2003 Pontiac Grand am GT. It was getting about 28 MPG and the last 3 months it started smelling of gas at start up and now I am getting 15MPG. Is this common? What might be leaking? It starts fine and runs fine.... just sucks the gas!

Highly recommend you do not drive car before finding and fixing leak. When you can smell raw gasoline there is a very real risk of fire. Could be fuel lines, connections on injector rail, and others

Oh yeah, NOT common. That car can be replaced, You can't be. If you have ever been near a car fire you would understand how serious this is and why I go out of my way to warn you

It only smells of gas when I first start it up and then after it runs a min the smell stops. Thats why I first thought injectors? I havent drove it for weeks now but would really like to be able to soon

http://clean.injectorrx.com/leaking-fuel-injectors/ ......have a look at that page. Very well could be injectors

.

My car is doing same thing the fuel injectors (one or some) are leaking inside the plenum .causing a misfire on cold startup flashing engine light.i removed the plugs when cold after sitting overnight.and rotated the engine 2 times by hand to allow intake valves to open.then i took a rubber hose put it in each spark plug hole and sniffed. You will know which one or ones are leaking down.mine was number 6 cyl .these wer brand new injectors too.pissed me off i should have changed fuel filter at same time but forgot to. Anyways changing them to better quality injectors this weekend. Hope this helps you. Mike
