Throwing away $$$

My "Check Engine" light came on this week and after driving it around for several days I finally decided to have it looked at. It's only three years old so I can't imagine it breaking down just yet. After a couple of hours and $155.00 later, I find out that it was merely the gas cap. I wish I had gone to here and save myself $155.00

"..Some cars measure how much pressure is building up inside your gas tank. It involves a series of mathematical algorithms that track your driving style and how much pressure is usually in the tank, then set off an alarm if it strays a certain percentage from the average. Whatever. All is means is that if you're gas cap isn't on tight, it thinks something is up and lights the orange dashboard candle, the Check Engine light......"

In a rush, I have not tightened my gas cap the last few times I have gotten gas!

  • How would you have ever known to find that b/c the "search engine" light could've been triggered by many things?
