You are supposed to stick the gas nozzle in there, not your DIC...

It'll go away by itself after a certain number of driving cycles, or the delaer can reset it in about 2 minutes.

Yup it happened to me too, I was told that the gas cap seal was not sealing properly due to my not turning the gas cap enough times when screwing it in....not enough clicks. The dealership replaced the seal and the message went away. Did you reset your dic? I didn't realize it was so important to turn the gas cap **** and actually make it click at least three times. (I guess the air can get in there if you don't) I know better now.
