Probably a high water content in the gas, causing a CEL. Sounds good anyway.

marathon. after the fill up of marathon gas my check engine light has not 
come on at all. so it got me thinking, and today when i stopped for gas i 
went to bp and threw in $3 worth on a empty tank. sure enough the check 
engine light came on about a mile down the road. is it possible that crappy 
bp gas is causing this or is it more likely just a coincidence?
