"Service Engine Soon"

I just read a post that a few people had this problem. Dont waste your
time taking your car in for service.

The problem can be solved by TIGHTENING YOUR GAS CAP. It
happened to me a few times and I read the owners manual and
it works.

If youre in a rush or not paying attention that light usually comes
on shortly after fueling up.

Make sure you hear it click 3 times at least and you shouldnt have
that problem.

Yea but you cant truly say that as gold unless you read the cost and you see that you are getting a code of 0440 code. Then you are 100% right or there is a small leak somewhere in fuel tank.

That is true, but it never hurts to try the simple fixes first.
