You should be fine. Just be careful and if something starts acting weird or sounding weird, check it out.

Ok, I brought it to AutoZone and it read PO158 (O2 sensor). So, I'm going to fill up the tank a couple more times and see if the light goes away. If not, I'm under warranty. (car has almost 31K miles) Thanks for your help! Anymore, bring it on down.
