can "bad gas" throw warning lights? (ot)

[vwscir88@hotmail.com (brett cooke)]

  2 weeks ago i nearly ran out of gas and was forced to stop at a bp to fill 
up. after filling the tank the check engine light on my car came on and 
stayed on for a week. on my next fill up i went back to my normal fill up at 
marathon. after the fill up of marathon gas my check engine light has not 
come on at all. so it got me thinking, and today when i stopped for gas i 
went to bp and threw in $3 worth on a empty tank. sure enough the check 
engine light came on about a mile down the road. is it possible that crappy 
bp gas is causing this or is it more likely just a coincidence?
