Could just be a bad gas cap.

If you, or whoever put gas in the car, didn't click the gas cap on tight you can get this code. Where I live you can't pump your own gas, against the law. And after having the light and code come up and finding a loose gas cap, I just got the code reader so I could clear the code. Look for a deal on a code reader, I think I only paid about $70 for mine. Click click click.

It weirds me out every time I read that. Can't imagine someone else pumping my gas. I was pumping my mom's gas when I was like 5.

I can remember when gas stations worked on cars - and they used to do it as a service, checked all your fluids, cleaned the windshield, gave you stuff free with a fill up...those were the days. I was a young whipper snapper back then. LOL
