Do you have dumps for exhaust? If so...I would say this is why you are smelling exhaust as the exhaust is coming out right under you.
Not sure about the gas smell though

If the rubber grommet that connects to the trans tunnel and lets your e-brake cables pass through has popped out, that'll let exhaust in.

mine does it cuz theres a lil hole behind the spare tire hole thats missing a grommet

there are quarter sized holes right under your seat as well.

what kind of exhuast..if its dumps without turn downs, that is the issue..make sure u dont have an exhaust leak from the mid-pipe to the mufflers..and yes, not having carpet could contribute to the issue..there is a layer of padding below carpet to help with this as well as sound..but check ur exhaust first..
