=>  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?
=>    hit
