RE: Loss of power
There's a rash of incidences lately of adulterated fuel. Are you sure you didn't get a tank of bad gas? Depending on how bad it is, it can ruin a catalytic converter enough to cause driveability problems at higher speeds while still allowing good idle/off idle operation. I had this happenwith the wife's '03 Envoy on which we just had the converter replaced. It only gave a couple pending codes for a malfunctioning O2 sensor, which I also replaced without curing the driveability issue. Hope this helps.
