Exclamation strong smell of gas when changing oil

So as I was changing my oil on my 2013 IS250 and pulled out the oil filter there was a very strong smell of gas as the oil came out. I have no idea why or what it could be causing this. It has 15k and runs great. One idea that I do notice is that I barely get 20 mpg and I don't floor it. I'm thinking about going to the dealer sinces its under warranty but I just what to have an idea of what it could be.

U may wanna put this in maintenance or a different area this is mainly for build threads. U might not get any answers about this here.
