Gary,
If you are sure the odor is gasoline, remove the trunk board covering the gas tank and pry off the metal covers over the fuel pump and fuel sending unit and make sure the areas are dry. Also sniff those areas. One of the leaks I hunted down was a bad fuel pump o-ring. I also replaced the fuel sending unit gasket. This is any easy first step in locating the smell, especially since it is so pronounced in the lower trunk area. What you didn't mention is if this is a new problem with this car, and how long have you owned it? If you do a search on this subject you will find a mechanic who also mentions the "interior gassing off" theory. There are no more leaks in my fuel system, but the interior still has that odd odor.
