Check your fuel cap or gas tank for leaks, or maybe the gas lines.
smell,and the fact that your car starts:gas gauge

If there is a gas smell inside a car the vehicle needs to be inspected for a gas leak. Stop driving the car and look for any holes in the gas tank. Leaking gas can be dangerous and can result in a fatal accident.
More than likely because its leaking. If the gas smell is stronger in the trunk then that normally indicates that there is a leak in a fuel line around or on top of the tank...usually it is on top of the tank because dirt/salt ect can build up on the tank and the lines corrode... If the smell is stronger inside the car then it could indicate a leak in the fuel line from the engine compartment to the center point of the car... None the less if you are smelling gas then there is a leak somewhere in the system and you should have it checked before it catches fire and burns up...
Your 1996 Escort might smell like gas when it is not running because of a damaged gas tank or damaged fuel lines. Leaking injectors or a leaking tank can also cause that smell.

because your engine is going to break down or when you start the car if the whether is cold, it makes it smell like gas
