I've noticed it a handful of times while on the highway in traffic (not stop and go), so I can't swear its my car. I've done the same commute for years and don't recall smelling gas so strongly or as often in previous cars.
I dunno if its mine or just lucky to be behind someone with a leaking tank..
Next time I notice it I will make a point of mentioning it to the dealer.

If you have a leaky fuel pump you will smell fuel when you are stopped and around your car. If you are only smelling fuel on the highway it's likely another car. I drive myself crazy sometimes when I smell fuel, overly rich uncatted exhaust or burning oil. Unless I can see the offending car I assume it's me. I think design of ventilation in the 86 is not great and smells from outside linger longer.
