I took the P3 on a longish ride yesterday. Tank was filled with 91 octane. It was running fine, passed a couple of trucks and hit 92 no problem. I was running about 75-78 mph but got 37 mpg only.

I put in 93 octane and shortly thereafter it started missing a little at high speed and wouldn't go above 84mph. I was traveling about 75-78mph It stalled at 58 miles because I needed the reserve already!

Any clues? THANKS.

At all speeds below 70-75 it seems perfect, it's just when passing -- or now-- filling up, it's not exactly how it should be.

It also pops a bit when letting off the accelerator at higher RPMs. 10,700 miles, boot has about 2 years and 3000 miles miles, stock air set-up except K&N filter. I'm on the road now. I'll check the tightness. Maybe that should be an annual part change?

TPS?
