Sounds like a possible petrol leak, fuel smell on cold mornings is not uncommon as they use about 20 times more fuel than usual on cold start. What model / year is your car? Their was a recent thread regarding version 7 wrx's & sti's where a recall was issued due to a very strong smell.

Have a search, if it's working.
