Gasoline smell inside the car

I have an 04 X and just starting recently, (about 2-3 weeks ago) I have been smelling a slight gasoline smell while inside the car. It is not as strong as the smell when pumping gas but it is pretty apparent that it is a gasoline smell. I have stuck my head under the car near the gas tank and cannot smell anything. I first thought it was some sort of gas leak. Also, I have not been using my heater or AC.

Anyone know what this could be?

Is it when you first start the car or all the time? Catalytic converters have to warm up and there will be a gas smell till they do. Takes longer when it is cold.

yea its when I am first starting up and that makes sense because it is cold here.

Also, I am pretty sure the smell is coming out of the A/C vents.
