Check engine - only on Hwy

Hey guys:

My check engine light has come on twice this week, both times on longer than normal highway drives. After about 20 minutes at 60 mph. Turn the car off and it goes away.

What do you think?

You need to have it scanned and get the code that it is holding. But from experinec it could be about anything in that range.

Most likely its EGR but have it scanned to be sure.
