Engine Check Light

Engine Check Light
Hello,
Just after some advice. To set the scene, I filled up with fuel on Friday for a drive of some 260 miles to London and back. Shortly after leaving Tesco's the engine management light starting flashing several different codes, this happened basically all the way up and back down.
Codes were;
2 long flashes, one short
3 long flashes, one short
6 long flashes, one short
7 long flashes, one short
24 long flashes.
I managed to find out what some of these codes mean but not all.
The car (my01 wrx) drives perfectly as it was before.
What I was wondering is whether it's coincidence or whether it could have been down to the fuel i'd just put in ?
I've also been reading about checking the codes. I've read that there are some diagnostics wires that can be connected which can display the codes (flashes again) and also reset the ecu, does this work on a new age 2001 scooby or only on the classics ? - this is what i've not managed to work out, a bit unclear from what i've been reading
Cheers
