It seemed fine on the highway but pulling a hill cold and again on a long pass fully warmed up, it was a dog. This is a heavy vehicle for a 4 cylinder, 3 speed automatic at altitude but this was slower than usual. I noticed this before on a lower blend of E85 and RUG and ran a tank of RUG and the power was back. Anyone else noticing a power loss on E85 in a non-turbo engine?

You're probably running too lean. Add some gasoline and see if it runs better. Until then please take it easy.
