Why CEL after putting in gas?? All the time?
This is the 3rd time I filled up my tank all the way and my CEL came on. 2 times at Hess and another time at BP. All 93 octane.

Faulty gas cap (bad seal). Fairly common and an easy fix.

most likely the gas cap seal. I've seen it happen before, but im not sure if it should throw out a code 13 though.
