Was gonna say the same thing, other thing to say is use search, there are some posts here just recently regarding the same thing, basically if you have a small leak you need to do a leak test.

Generally, on a "new" car it's rare to have any kind of leak in the emission system(charcoal canister, hoses, ect.) so it's more then likely a gas cap that wasn't seated properly. I threw a P0440 and the following week a P0457 both times after my wife filled my car up with gas. Took it to work and used our code reader to erase the code and all it fine and well as long as I put the cap on the right way.

Thanks guys, it was the gas cap. Weird thing is it's on, I just kept turning it (clicking) and the code's gone now.
