Unless you were redline banging every gear I don't think the car would even idle if it was running that rich.
I literally get better mileage at the ridge lol. | 100% sure, if not 100% then 95% full. I filled gas on Friday on the way home and didn’t drive it until yesterday. Oh that’s another thing. I may have redlined once or twice, definitely a chill drive. Smooth idle.

Check under your rear seat. Gas can come out of where the sender unit sits on top of the tank when the gaskets are worn. Sometimes depending how bad it is you could slosh a few litres out on the drive.
That gas had to go somewhere that isn't into the combustion chamber though at that point.

I guess I’ll go top it back up then go for a 20km drive and see how much I’ve burned.

The tank should be sealed off from the cabin, unless someone forgot to put the access cover back on you shouldn't be getting any liquid in the car even if it's leaking at the pump.

It will stay under the access cover but it will still stink.

Earlier can be hard cause you actually need diagnosis skills which I don't have, and newer you need a 50k diagnostic machine so it will let you install a battery lol.

Do the same drive again after checking your tank is actually full. Maybe you just were actually full the first time.
