Tighten your fuel cap and be happy that it isn't a real problem! Actually, the fuel cap MIGHT be the only problem - replace with an OEM one. But, if that doesn't solve the problem you may want to seek a competent local mechanic to run a smoke test looking for leaks in the evap system. Could be anything from a crack in a vaccuum line to a faulty purge solenoid. My best guess would be the 90 degree elbow in the line connecting to the purge solenoid. A piece of heater hose should fix it.
