And for a gas leak to have enough fumes to smell up in the interior there would have to be a pretty substantial leak. And for that kind of leak shouldn't I be throwing codes for there being a break in the vacuum? Such is what a mechanic said to me today. Makes sense.

Beginning to wonder if it isn't in my head or something.

No you wouldn't get extra fumes because I run 89-93 in mine year round, and I've never smelled gas.
