No oil pressure, help

Ok a delayed update on this.
I had it towed to a shop of a friend. He tried to start it....it started....it had great oil pressure. It just randomly fixed itself between my driveway and his shop. It has been fine ever since, going on two weeks now. Cars are so confusing.
Another problem has appeared though - it seems I'm getting about 2 miles to the gallon, when a couple weeks ago I was getting around 18-20. The car feels low on power too. I've only driven it about 20 miles, and gone through a good amount of gas. I don't want to be driving it everywhere testing it out, wasting $20 every time I drive it on gas. There's no SES code or any symptoms that seem wrong.
The only problem I've noticed is the car smells very heavily of gasoline, at all times. At idle, at cruising, at WOT, hell even when I park the car and turn it off, if I come out an hour later, I can smell gas everywhere. It's not leaking gas though, I looked everywhere.
