Hello and Welcome to the forums.
When you fill up the tank, do you stop filling with the pump's auto shutoff or do you "top-off" the tank? Topping-off the tank can cause some of the fuel to backup the vent tube and spill outside of the fill tube and cause that gasoline odor, or even completely saturate the vapor canister - which will cause it to vent to the atmosphere (gas oder near the rear, driver's side door) and could lead to a very expensive repair in the future (clogged vapor canister ~ $350+ parts and labor to replace).
A cracked vent tube or cut-off valve is another possibility - can happen to any car/make. A bad gas cap gasket or not tightening the gas cap until it "clicks" is another possibility. Try partial fill ups and see if you still notice a gasoline odor. If you do, might mean a more significant issue, like a a cracked vent tube or clogged charcoal/vapor canister.
As for starting up with the A/C on, that noise could come from a number of issues. Loose or worn serpentine belt, too much of an electrical load initially, etc. Next time, shut off all accessories before you crank the car - less of a load on the electrical system, more power to crank the engine over.
Hesitation at a certain speed - again could be a number of culprits. When was the last time you had a comprehensive tune up? Transaxle fluid change out recently? Cleaned throttle body? Checked plugs? Cleaned MAF sensor, verified air filter is clean?
I always make the gas cap tight, 3 -4 clicks ocd
When I went for my last oil change, they recommended "Fuel Injectors" . (Mobil Quick Lube Standalone not gas station)
Before that Oil Change was at Midas(I did my front drums there), But they said I had a Small Leak, Only When the car is on, I need to have A Transmission Flush according to them, quoted me $160. Advised me to make sure I always Had Tranny Fluid. But not too Much(Had too much last time)
Before Midas, Pepboys, Where I replaced A Worn Serpentine Belt and Had The Oil Changed, i was not told to do anything else. No noticeable leaks That I have seen.
today I didn't notice the Smell of gas As Previous times. ??
Right now she has Less than Half .but not a Quarter. I have never run on E. close to but never On E.
Your thoughts?
Thanks Again
