Default Gas smell

I had the windows down driving around and noticed a gas smell, after I left the gas station. When I parked there were no leaks and it didnt smell on the outside. Any ideas of whats going on

I started noticing a gas smell around my car and it turned out to be the grommet around the fuel filler neck.

I have a gas smell too... and it only seems to be coming from my exhaust..... maybe it's from the o/r midpipe?
