it, and it's off since. On 9th April, I took to meineke, they changed oil, replace air filter, gave me injector flued. Light was off. On 10th, on my way to work, it came on again. I took it to other mechanic, they said it's O2 censor, cleared it, didn't have time to fix it and told me to come next week.

Also, I tighten the fuel cap, it wasn't very tight. I read on internet that might be the case?

I'm driving slow, like those drivers I used to frown upon, not hitting gas much. Just in case.

Should I take it to mechanic or wait till the light comes on?
 
most common reason for an O2 sensor going bad is the cat converter it reads it info from is going bad,check them &check to see if that they work properly &also check (since most cars have more than 1) they replaced the right one;most "Quicky"type shops don't properly check out the entire problem,they go for the quick fix 1st & then apologize & look for the true cause.Be aware of that!
