I don't agree AT ALL that it's the fuel.
I have the same smell from my '03 linear when the fuel tank is below 1/4 full. Oddly, I also get a "sizzling noise" from the exhaust as well after the car is off.
My brother-in-law used to have the same problem with his Renault (in London). That was fixed by getting a new fuel pump.
I have made this an issue with my dealer and documented out the smell and the noise. They haven't fixed it yet but I have no problem with repeated complaints and potential lemon law filing. Smell and burning sounds are not acceptable in a $30K+ car.
