Take Note of These Smells

You Start to Smell Gasoline
While some gas smells are the result of a recent fill-up, they should not last long.

This should be taken care of as soon as possible.
You Can Smell the Exhaust from Inside Your Car
You should never smell the exhaust inside your car. If you do, this is one smell that you really want to take notice of and do something about. It could be the result of broken seals on your windows or doors. Regardless, exhaust fumes can cause illness and even death for humans and animals. Get it looked after right away.
The Car Vents Smell Like a Rotten Egg
