Description of the problem	I was researching this site for something else when i came upon complaints about the toxic smell of gasoline/fuel when starting up certain subarus on extremely cold days. I live in colorado and the smell of fuel is awful when the car is started in the winter and i can sometimes smell it while operating the car. I have a 2005 subaru impreza wrx. My car has had so many problems: bearings in the transfer box failing twice, the fuel pump failed (on the highway no less, where i was almost hit by a truck because my car lost power so quickly). The radiator went... The turbo failed. My car has always been dutifully maintained. If this fuel smell is serious i hope subaru will handle it as such but my experience with the local dealer and subaru corporate has led nowhere.
