Default Gas smell in the cabin on startup...

...Did it a few times on Monday, didn't do it again until today. Both Monday and today it did it on cold start in the morning, then a few times when running errands (where the car was warmed up, sat for 10-20 mins, and was restarted). It was especially strong on the warm starts. If you turn the car off and start it back up right away it doesn't do it.

Looked under the car, no leaks. Looked in the engine bay, all injectors look dry as do all fuel line fittings.

Any ideas?

Check your gas cap on tank. Make sure its seated correctly?

Default It's on tight. The Colorado emissions center pressure tested the cap when I bought the car in Jan..

...and it passed.

I have a spare cap, should I give it a try?
