CEL Blinked At Me *Oh Noes*

So, today I was coming home from work and got on to 95 South. Like usual I hit it just to meet my redline a day regiment. I shift smoothly through all gears. No grinding, no missed gears, nice and smooth.

After getting to 6th and cruising at about 75 mph for a few minutes I look down to see my check engine light on. I get really worried for a second so I slow down to 65 mph. It says on for less than a minute and then it blinks at me about 6 or 7 times and finally goes off.

Car didn't go into limp mode or anything. Just blinked at me. Oil pressure was fine, so was the temp guage. I added oil a few days ago and I'm not due for an oil change for another 1000 miles.

Any suggestions, I'm afraid to drive it now.

32500 miles on it. Its a 04.

I'm gonna check the plugs in the morning before work.

I don't think it would be the gas cause I fill up at the same place and I'm already half a tank into the gas.
