Check the hoses that are connected to the fuel rail when the car is running, especially the one on the passenger side. If they are leaking a little, you can probably just tighten up the hose clamps on em.

I have the same problem with my GXE too. It's when I either hit the brakes hard or I accelerate real fast.

my max did that about a year ago... it was a breather hose (not the filler neck, which is a recall btw). very small, near the tank under the left rear of the car. creep under there and look for cracks.
