This happened to me. Last time you installed the gas cap, it wasn't sealed 100%, the fuel system works off pressurization. If you haven't driven too far, you can re-install the gas cap and drive for a few miles to see if the light goes out. If it does not you'll have to go to the dealer to have the system reset, takes about 15 mins.

FYI, I wasn't aware of the system and continued to drive, my car ran like crap until I finally went to dealership.

Good Luck !

The wife's did that and it turned out to be an emissions related valve (IIRC) that was replaced under warranty. It was not the gas cap being loose.
