It is probably worth it to pickup a $100 code reader if you are concerned about costs. It may be something as simple as a MAF which you could change yourself, or even a loose fuel cap. But without reading the code thats causing the CEL there is no way to tell.

Most 2008s are still under warranty--this is a warranty fix whatever it is.

It CAN be a loose gas cap, of course.

I've taken my GMC products to Autozone and they'll read the codes for free. I would imagine they'd do the same for your Bluetec, but I'll bet whatever it is they won't have the part and unless it's something silly like the gas cap you're going to wind up at the dealer.

I would not ignore it; CEL is there for a reason. Take it to any dealer if you are still under warranty assuming the car has less than 50K miles on the clock.
CEL will eventually go away if it is due to gas cap only; anything else means it needs attention.
