Has the light gone off after some more driving, or is it still on?

Did you put the filler cap back on properly - if it doesn't go back on all the way this can throw a CEL.

Check that, drive a few miles and see if it goes off.

You wouldn't get a CEL from putting regular unleaded in it.

My guess is that Badger's sabotaged it out of spite.

Take it back to where you got it from and demand your money back
