Filled up the tank yesterday and seated the gas cap by at least four clicks. This evening, the "check engine light" (CEL) came on . Because this is not the first time this has happened, I immediatley pulled over and checked the gas cap. It was very loose . Tightened the cap back up and was on my way. Now I'll have to wait several drive cycles to get the CEL to shut off (or pull a fuse).

This is the third time I was sure I properly closed the cap, to later see the CEL come on -- so I did a search and found the following useful links:

My CEL blinked 3-4 times today on my trip home. No codes stored... This was after I filled my gas but I didn't think to check that.

 

The CEL light is out now, after the third drive to-from work. Driving 50+ miles per day, I probably fill up more than most. Guess you can't always be in a hurry...
