Its normal for almost any car, the cats have to warm up before they burn up any unspent fuel.

it is normal at colder temps. it idles high to warm the engine faster. and, like the post above stated, the fuel smell is coming through the exhaust b/c the cats aren't up to temp yet.

its obvious. not only for the machine you own but any which runs on fuel. this is caused because of the warming up of cats.
