Lightbulb Gas smell???

Ok, right now I have 2 cars and usually reserve the 240 for weekend driving. Well, I drive it during the week and noticed something that concerns me. I think everytime that I've driven the 240, I've had the windows down. In the mornings, it's a bit cool still for that, so I have the vent on.

Long story short, I've noticed that with the vent on and the car sitting still I get a very strong odor of gas. Any ideas on what this could be?

Well, everything obvious looks fine. I guess I'm going to have to take it to the dealer to look at it. The engine bay is almost clean enough to eat off of, there is nothing leaking from anywhere, the car runs strong, I don't have any idea what it is.
