Check Engine light

Friday evening, the family and I piled into our 99' wagon for a trip to the book store. The check engine light came on during the ride. The car was low on gas. The last tank of gas was purchased where it always is, at the Sunoco station a mile from my house. The next day, the light was still on during a trip to my in-laws. I hadn't yet filled the tank. As the wife and I were in a hurry, I filled the car at a Citgo on the way to our final destination. Later that evening when we went to pick the kids up the light went out. It remained out all of Sunday.
The car has 78K miles. The last major service was at 60K. The car is around 500 miles into an oil change. I always use semi-synthetic. Conversely, I've been using only 87 octane fuel. The car exhibits no other quicks and runs quite well.
Question: Should I bother having my dealer take a look knowing that I have little faith in them for anything that isn't "simple" or for anything that I haven't diagnosed myself?
Thanks,
-mark
