check engine with a bogus code indicating "low gas"
anyone get this? every so often i get a check engine with a vag code per my mechanic indicating that i let the fuel get too low (when in fact i hadn't)...i could almost swear this happens when i don't fill her up with chevron 91, but it's probably in my head...this code has been taking turns appearing with another code for a faulty MAF in the past weeks, could that be the cause of all this (and no, i still haven't changed it out! i know, i'm bad)
sharp u-turns also get me this code, maybe the fuel shifts from one side to the other and voila, i get the check engine...it's annoying and it won't go awaaaaaaay <whimper>

i'll have to get the actual number this weekend from the tech but>
i've gotten this code fairly often in the last two months and he just says, "did you let the fuel get too low? I'm getting a code for low fuel..."
And like I say, in the past 1.5 months, I've also gotten 2 codes specifically indicating a bad MAF, so was hoping I could kill 2 birds with one stone if you guys think these codes are all MAF-based.
