Default Help! I got a engine check light and i smell gas inside during 10+min drives...
Only drove 500miles since 10k service too.. =(
what should I do?

I'm from LA and I have to move to San Diego on Monday and none of the dealers here said service this week was possible. =( Do you think it's safe to drive to San Diego? ..or if I just show up in the morning to a dealership they'll take care of my car? thanks..

Get it checked, did you see any fuel leaking?
