i think gasoline is suppose to evaporate maybe try opening the trunk and rear windows. I dont know if it still does the same when it soaks in carpet..
Yeah, I would think it would evaporate.

Open the hatch and put a fan up front to blow it out the back w/ maybe the driver side window open. Or maybe sprinkle some of the carpet scent reoval stuff then vaccumn it out.

light a match. it will get rid of the smell. granted youll have a whole new laundry list of problems with an xB on fire, but your car wont smell like gas at least! :rofl:

seriously, i would do the fan idea, then Febreeze the hell outta the car. it should take care of it no problem. another idea would be to put an open container of baking soda in there. baking soda absorbs smells so its logical that it could take some of it away also.
