OK.. let me see if I have decoded what you have told us..

1) Car cold, no starting problem.
2) Car warm - starts with difficulty. (Is this correct or is it 'Doesn't start at all.'?)
3) When car is warm and not wanting to start you smell gas after cranking.
4) If car is warm and not wanting to start, if you are parked so you can roll and pop clutch, does it start? (That if true wanders things off into another forest..)

Now, I did find the following two items on a Suzuki forum (guess since Geo shut down, Suzuki has been handling Geo stuff.. ??)

Try the unflood mode to start it. Foot all the way down on the gas pedal, to the floor. 
This stops the ECU from injecting fuel - if car starts this way, it means that it is flooding 
(conversely, when it takes a long time starting, pull a plug and see if it is wet).

..and

The most common problem that matches your symptoms is a bad fuel pressure regulator. When the 
engine is fully warmed up, pull the vacuum line off the FPR and see if there is any gas in the line. 
If so you just found the problem. Try starting a hot engine with the vacuum line detached. If it fires 
right up you just confirmed the problem with the FPR. The FPR is a super easy part to test and replace 
as it's VERY easy to get to and test or change. 

Now, exactly where that fuel pressure regulator they mention in the second comment is located, I don't know.. It supposedly looks something like this:

Have you had an occasion to try the 'pedal to the metal' flooding work around? 'Cause if that works we are fairly sure you have a fuel problem as opposed to ignition issue.

Oh lookie - it's getting boo-dark and thunderous noises are rumbling in from the Southwest..

We currently have Boom! and downpour going on, but the boom isn’t as loud as it was. Jake was nervous and drooled on me.

Wellnow.

1) True
2) True
3) True
4) Not necessarily true, as it requires effort and more than one try. So, not often used.

Yes, it is an “American Suzuki,” if there is such a thing. And the parts are very expensive, which is why I have gotten them at Auto Parts Warehouse.com

The car started better on the second try at Walmart (when I came home) with my foot to the floor.

Again, I could have had this diagnosed properly in person, had I had the money for it, this morning. But now at least, it would seem we have “ignition” ruled out and “fuel” ruled in.

Now to get it looked at...
