Someone else can probably better guess where it's coming from and why, but
I would say, no - that's not normal, you should be concerned. Gasoline is
supposed to be in a closed system and not dropping into the passenger
compartment where people are, and certainly it would be a major fire hazard
if anyone smokes (not to mention the fumes are dangerous in their own right).
You should take care of it right away.
