Don't screw around. Call the dealer tell them what is wrong. They may want to tow it in.
Your warranty may allow it to be towed in to. The dealer may want to take a shortcut and have you drive it in. Just get it towed.

If you have places to go or things to do...does not matter. Don't use it.

Did you go to a gas station recently? When people overfill their tanks at the pumps and there's some spillage, there's been a couple of times where I've stepped on it (thinking it was just water or rain) and I smell it when I get inside my car.

Check the bottom of your shoes.

No, I filled gas last week.
I only smelled gas yesterday.
I still keep driving the crv.I don't smell gas now.
I tightened fuel fill cap.I don't know ,fuel cap is the reason.
I will phone honda dealer to check it.

if its gone, you probably spilled it somewhere without being aware.

just let them know, but be prepared to be hosed. If they find nothing its not covered under warranty.
