What are you asking / saying?

You randomly got a CEL while the car was on and sitting in traffic and you think it has something to do with the different gas?

Or do you suspect a sensor has failed?

or both?

Did you get the car scanned?

EDIT: Or did the CEL turn on after you started the car when you last got gas?

You need to get it scanned before you ask the questions

Gas cap loose? That'll usually raise an Evap/Emissions code if it is and since you just filled up with fuel it may be detecting a leak.
