Bad gas can cause that code. Assuming you are sure that that is the only code, then I'd reset the code and run a whole tank of good gas through the system first.

According to the service manual, if that is the only code and it keeps coming back, it's a bad CAT on that bank (rear CAT).

Likely, it's either a spurious signal (they do happen), it was caused by bad gas, or you have an associated code along with it (bad A/F or O2 sensor)....

It when thru a few tanks of gas since the first time it happen. And I think the dealer change the o2 sensor about a year ago for a different problem it had....
