Burning Brakes
I am not completely sure it has honestly 
but after reading an article from Clark's garage, he indicated that that valve may have failed if you experience a big "whoosh" sound when opening the gas cap (which I do). Also I have been trying to proactively replace some of the hoses by the filler neck to deal with what I think is a problem with fuel vapors leaking into the cabin. I am dealing with some "wooziness" and headaches after driving. And I am trying to do everything to seal it up, need to do some further investigation on exhaust as well.

Thanks! I actually replaced that firewall seal with a new one, as mine was in pretty bad shape, but I am glad you mentioned the shifter, that reminded me to look at that, mine is an automatic, but assume there is a similar boot there as well?

Gas tank fumes don't make you woozie or give you headache, carbon monoxide does. Don't drive the car until you can see if it is, your car could kill you.
