Gasoline Smell when A/C turned on

Observations: Noticed gasoline smell while driving (more pronounced when the A/C is one). Thought it was because I hadn’t changed the oil filter in over 8,000 miles (gas smells like motor oil). Switched out the oil filter last week but the smell’s getting stronger.

Good thing I’m not a smoker.

Current mileage ~ 51,000 miles. Called up Subaru dealership to have them service the vehicle. Towing service costs around 62 bucks 185 bucks! Most likely due to a leak in the fuel system.

Update: Canceled towing service. Signed up with roadside assistance for one year (90 bucks/year). But will have to wait three days for my account to process.
