A car may smell like fuel when it's cold outside due to a few reasons, including incomplete combustion in the engine, which can lead to unburned fuel escaping through the exhaust. Additionally, cold temperatures can cause fuel vapors to condense and leak from the fuel system, particularly if there are any cracks or loose connections. Lastly, if the engine is struggling to start in cold weather, it may be using more fuel than usual, contributing to the smell. If the odor persists, it's advisable to have a mechanic inspect the vehicle for potential leaks or issues.
