but as far as I've read this car isn't part of that O2 sensor recall, I guess it's time to call a dealer

A fuel smell on cold startup esp. in a confined area is not unusual...

...as the engine doesn't burn fuel efficiently when cold. If the car runs/idles more than a little rough, though, I'd have it looked at.

Not unusual, I agree

my 2001 (heck my 98 prelude too) runs really rich when they're just started. You'll smell the unburned gas smell until both the engine and the cats are hot.

Can you clean fuel injectors by yourself?
