Default what light is this

Popped in petrol station filled up from empty.After 15 minutes of driving car felt diffrent(flat). Drove hard in 3rd to be shore it seemed like a bad batch of petrol. It does happen every now and then. Going home later on cruising the motorway a light came on which is not in my manual. I reduiced speed and it went away .It looked like two parallel lines with something above i think.Detting maybe from bad fuel ? light on though puzzles me. Any ideas.
