Good report, glad you are able to fix things. How did you fix whatever made the engine lose power (climbing the grade)?

As it stands the filter is okay when my engine needs are "only" 6-7mpg, but when they dropped to maybe 2mpg on the long grade the fuel pump wasn't able to get an adequate supply of gasoline to the fuel injectors due to a partially clogged gasoline filter.
I'm currently in LA visiting my daughter for Thanksgiving (drove my Caravan) so I won't be replacing the gasoline filter until I return. However, it's a simple repair and when I remove the old filter I'll "test" it by blowing through it and see how easily it passes air. That'll give me a somewhat subjective answer as to its condition. Anyway, filters are cheap.
