Gary,
Have you had the car for a long time and this problem has just started? My 1979 had a similar problem, including filling my garage with gasoline vapors. I found various fuel leaks throught the fuel system. Pressure tested the line that goes through the headliner (no leak there), however the interior still has that strange smell after it has been sitting for several hours. It has been suggested that the odor is just an old (clothe) interior "gassing off". The smell is similar to gasoline, but it is not. I have learned to roll down the windows and air out the car before driving it. For what its worth, I also have notice the odor in the lower trunk area. Are you noticing fuel vapors in your garage?
