Alternators have the capacity to charge a battery even at idle revs, the fluctuations are simply the regulator maintaining the correct charge in the battery, perfectly normal.

The gas smell is a by-product of burning high sulphur content fuel, change brands. Can't advise on sluggishness, is the car in good order and serviced properly :question:

What mileage have you done? Is it an auto? Has it got worse lately or always sluggish? How long before your next service is due?

Try a tank or two of premium fuel.  :undecided:

 :disapp: What does the dealer say? No fault found I guess?  :Dunno:

I would get them to test drive it back to back with an equivalent car and then deny there is a problem!  :cool:

No, you actually need to change Brands of fuel, 98 can still contain a lot of sulphur.
