Service Engine Soon

My "Service Engine Soon" light came on today when I was driving around 30mph and had about 20miles of gas left. I filled it up thinking maybe that was the problem but I filled my car up and it's still on. What could be wrong? I hope it doesn't get expensive...
Oh yeah my car's a 2008 G37 coupe with about 60k miles. fyi

Ok I took my car to autozone and got the code P0420:

-Catalyst system efficiency below threshold - bank 1 probable cause
-Large vacuum leak
-Rich AF ratio - fuel system faulty
-Ignition system malfunction
-Faulty catalytic converter

What is the easiest thing to check for?
