This sounds similar to a problem I just had on a roadtrip a couple of weeks ago. I think the oxygenated fuel was plugging up the lines or filter. It would start acting very poorly and really down on power about 50 miles after fill up in a station along the highway. I topped of the tank with Texaco 93 octane and it ran fine, until the next fillup with oxygenated fuel.

This was in a late model M*****G but sounds similar to your problems.

hope that helps.

one thing I forgot to mention .If your car has the the orig. sending unit it may have a filter on the pick up tube.when you drive it plugs,shut it off for 10 min. The rust ,dirt fall off .on and on. Take a blow gun a blow air back in to the fuel tank till you here it bubble, this should help if it has the filter.
