Its common when the engine is cold is it not? Also i have found older cars usually smell of petrol alot worse than newer ones | |

Is it after you have just filled up? It could be on your feet from the petrol station and get absorbed into the carpet and smell really bad when the foot heater is on.:boggle: | |
