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...
