I've been smelling gas an fumes field about 3 months and noticed thatlayely ive been losing gas and mileage at first I thought it just be over flow but it's gotten worse.im now having trouble getting my car into tht right gear I can only think that my gas and transmission is faultering somehow though I haven't taken it in due to money issues at this time. My steering column and handling seems out of alignment column feels shaken and faulty and difficult to handle at times at others times
