Default Check Engine Light/Cylinder bank Misfire

After refuelling, on two occasions, my 2008 Gallardo Spyder e-gear started, but was incredibly sluggish - barely revved enough to activate the clutch. Second time , I also got a cylinder 6-10 flashing signal on the dash, and an intermittent Check Engine Light.

Anyone else seen this?
What can cause an engine misfire?
How does one re-set this?

Drove the car for a few miles, in "limp" mode, then the engine sort of cleared iteself, and started running well again - no more light, no sputtering - just normal sceraming engine.
Any ideas and previous experience appreciated.
Joe

Does it also happen when the engine is cold (after a week rest for example) ? or is it only after refueling and starting again with a hot engine ?

So far, only with a hot engine. The re-fueling may be a co-incidence, but not sure.
I have not left the car sitting for more than a couple of days yet, (just got it 4 weeks ago), so do not know if it may do it after extended rest.
Thanks

Default Error Code - Update

Spoke to dealer.
They tell me this is fairly commoin if you let the fuel level get low, and that causes a temporary reduction in fuel pressure to one cylinder bank.
Soft code - no need to worry or reset.
