fuel smell inside cabin
twice, I noticed a temporary fuel smell inside cabin after I have driven for awhile. It is there for about a minute then it goes away. My Yaris only has 1200 miles on it. Any ideas?

Sometimes this can happen in a new car but there is a TSB out on the catalytic converter for a "sulphur" smell, is that possibly what it was? Usually though, I tell everyone who smells fuel in the cabin to take their car immediately to the dealership, let them know what's going on, and see what they can find as it could be a sign of a potentially serious problem
