Have you tried replacing the gas cap? We had a similar problem with an Acura, and that was all it needed. It's a fairly inexpensive place to start. I had a fuel leak in my 9000 and the first question they asked me was whether the gas smell was worse with the windows/sunroof open. If the answer is yes, it points to a leak near the fuel pump (still under the back seat in the 9-5?) because the fumes get sucked forward into the cab. Also, sometimes the o-ring on the fuel fill can leak.
Good Luck,
AeroLady
