I smell gas

When I turn on the car, and the fan/air is on (Ac or no AC doesn't matter) a small of gas comes out of the vents. Notice it more when the car is stopped for shorter periods of time, like 1/2 hour or more. I'm trying to think of how gas could vent into the air ducts and for the life of me, I can't. It goes away while driving and once gone, it doesn't smell again until it's stopped and then started.

Are you under warranty still. I would take it to the dealership, might be a bad leak diagnosis pump. Or you stepped in gas at the gas station and its on the carpet ?
