Most probably the smell came from outside... cos our latio aircon even when you set it to internal circulation, it still intake some air from outside...

You can try observing if the smell re-occur when you are driving alone without vehicles infront of you.

Is this a known 'problem'? I have been suffering from this even with air con set to 22 and with cabin filter changed.. which tcm suggested to do.

Did you always pump till full ( can see the petrol )
I experience twice....pump till can see petrol....and I can smell when inside the car.
But this smell will last 2 days and goes off....
