I first noticed this smell this summer when the air conditioner would run. It wasn't a strong gas smell, just slight like if you got a little gas on your hand filling up. Now that it's cooler, the smell has gotten 100 times worse, particularly when the fan for the heat is blowing. It is almost unbearable when stopped at a stop light. What could be causing this?
