so i just ran into this last week. my buddy owns a shop so i talked to him about it and apparently because we have the capless gas tanks the flap can get shifty sometimes. So what he found out is that if you spray the flap with WD40 and then get a long funnel and pretty much rape the gas tank opening with it grease up the flap so it closes properly, and if that fixes the issue then you should be ok.

i tried this, cleared the code and haven't had the CEL again yet so im hoping that was the problem.
There should be a properly sized fill funnel supplied with the car, in the foam inserts around the spare tire.
