Check that your gas cap is tightened down. Sounds like 250 miles would be just after your first fill up after buying the car.

As others have said its probably the gas cap. Tighten it until it clicks about 10 times. Then clear the code and see if it comes back.

good point, let me try that

but i haven't filled her up yet since the dealer filled up at delivery (had about 75 miles at that point since the dealer let me take it home for an overnight test drive and i live far from the dealer).

i had the same on my 350z. As others said check the gas cap. Dealer said give it about 10 clicks and a couple of days to go away. Sure enough it worked. Never saw it again on that car or my current.
