Have you by any chance mounted anything on the inside trunk wall (fire extinguisher for example) on the fuel filler neck side. I did. Had my service shop do it and guess what; they put the mounting screw through the trunk wall and right through the fuel filler neck. Every time I filled up I would get this very strong gas smell particularly when the sun roof was open when I was driving. Took three attempts to find the problem. Just before the gas nozzle on the service station pump cut off the fill pressure in my tank was forcing the gas back along the mounting screw and into the trunk. Removed the fire extinguisher mounting bracket, replaced the fuel filler neck and no more gas smell.
One other possibility: On my 94 900S [don't know whether it is the same for your '95), on top of the fuel tank there is a fuel pump with an O ring type seal. If the seal is corroded it's possible that your tank could be venting fumes into your passenger compartment when the car is parked overnignt. On my car you have to partially drop the gas tank to find out.
Other than the above I'm out of ideas. Hope you find the source of your problem before you become addicted to gas fumes. Good luck!
