well a gas smell comming from your exhaust would be that you need new Spark plugs, rotor, and cap, im taking it that this only happens when you just start your car, right, if when it warms up the smell changes to a roten egg smell then that would be the culprit, black smoke is an indication of high concentrations of Fule in the Exhaust meaning that it was still in a liquid form when it was being combusted,,
try giving you=r car a Tune up and if the problem still persists then you probabaly need to start looking at the Fuel Settings

would this be a oinda engine?
if it is try Cleaning your Intake plenum Purge Valve, or if so equiped , it might be time to change out the EGR Diaphram
