I would say only that you maybe try to reset the ecu

From what I understand the ecu learns drvivng habit and so if your a little heavy on the foot? it will be runnig a tad richer and the opposite if your a light foot.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong?

As to the smell of gas, I would suggest you open the hood while warming to have a visual? to find out IF you have a small gas leak causing the smell.

With that at least you'll know if it either is or not leaking and figure it maybe just running rich in which the gas smell is coming from the exhaust.

If it's still under warranty by all means take it in to have it looked at for peace of mind.
