check engine

My check engine light for the forth time gone on. I noticed once that when my gas tank was nearly empty it came off by its self and also when I filled up the tank. When I get gas I go until quarter tank or sometimes a little under. I use Mobil 93 octane gas since I bought the car brand new. So dose mean I need a new fuel filter or dose the gas station sometimes give out shaddy gas?

the light doesnt have to be on to read codes. even if the light goes off, the codes are stored.
