Question Strong gas smell????

Ok, yesterday I noticed that I have been driving for two weeks with out an oil cap. My engine oil was a notch low so I added half a quart and checked it and the oil reads overflow by a good amount now . Any ways I took the car out and noticed my mileage was down and after I went for a spirited drive my whole underground parking lot smelt like gasoline. It was coming from my car. I have never noticed that smell before. It reeked.

HELP!!!!!!! :o

gas or oil? I smell something on occasion after a hard run but can't really tell what fumes they are from. I even have the upgraded charcoal cabin filter too!

I did't smell it from inside the car. It was gas. I smelt it as soon as I got out the car and walked to the elevator. Seems like I am running super rich. all of a sudden or my cat is not working properly.

I drove the car hard before this.
