Spoiler less = smell of gas? Thats makes no sense. It is probably a leaking fuel line in engine bay. Nothing big deal. But if you don't fix it, it could leave you on the side of the road or catch on fire. So it would be smart to fix the problem now. Pop your hood and smell for gas. See if you can find a spot where the smell is the strongest. Then look for the gas leak. You can also start the engine and look/listening for hissing noise near fuel lines, as fuel pressure causes the gas to spray out. However, be careful as the gas line can burst in your face. (It has happened to me lol) and gas certainly does not taste good! Also, when you find the leaking line and you replace it, make sure that the brass fuel lines are pointing directly at each other! As if they are not pointing directly at each other, it causes the fuel line to bend a little and make you do the same repair over and over again while you scratch your head trying to figure out why the line keeps bursting.
Just bend the brass lines a little with the back of the screw diver if they are not pointing on each other.

Let us know what happens.
