1999 9-3 Base, no start issue

Alright, here are my specs:
99 9-3 2.0 Turbo 174k miles
Got pretty low on gas today, so I stopped at the local Sam's Club and filled 'er up. Upon getting back in the car (yep, I checked the gas cap!), it turns over but won't fire. I can smell the gas getting to the combustion 'area', so I'm doubting any faulty relays to the fuel pump or the pump's outright failure. Have a brand new battery (3 months old), so I am seriously doubting that it's an electrical issue...it seemed to turn over just fine. My obvious concern here is "What the heck caused this"...maybe the DIC or ignition coil being the likely culprit? Is it logical for the car to be running just fine, only to have it not start up again after a simple gas fill-up? Any suggestions here would be helpful, as I've already scoured the board for this problem and have located very limited answers.
