When that happens, you need to pull over, turn off the car and check your gas cap. (To be on the safe side, also check for low oil pressure or overheating before restarting your car. You should not operate your car under either of those circumstances. ) If that does not reveal the problem, then your wisest move is to take your car to a repair shop as quickly as you can, even if your car still appears to be running smoothly. Don't ignore that check engine light! A check engine light can indicate serious driveability issues with your engine, such as transmission, steering and ride control or emissions failures.
