Today on the way to work, I noticed my check engine light was on. So upon arriving at work, I mentioned it to someone and they suggested that I check to make sure my gas cap was tight as that could cause the problem. So sure enough, it was loose. What disturbs me is that I last got gas 2 days ago and have driven about 200 miles since then, but I first noticed the light this morning. I guess it's possible (but unlikely) that the light was on before this morning and I didn't notice. So after tightening the gas cap, the light is still on. The guy who suggested tightening the gas cap also said that the light will stay on for about a week until the computer resets itself.
So my question is this: should I be concerned that the light is still on or should I just continue to drive and assume everything is fine??
