Best fix IS to take it for warranty repair (if required). It's an emissions
code so it's definitely covered.

Now that I think about it, I had just filled up at QuickTrip 10 minutes
earlier, so maybe it was bad gas. Would draining the tank and filling with
good gas fix it? If so, is there a quick and easy way to drain the tank?

One more question while I'm at it, will the MIL light turn off when the
problem goes away or will I have to reset the computer somehow?

If it doesn't turn out to be bad gas I hope the real problem is covered
under warranty since it's brand new!
