Eng Pwr Reduced - Once again

Welp, once more Stiglitz is going back to the Dealership in the morning. As the title says, I got an engine power reduced code.
Was driving home today from work in traffic, 65 and 5th gear, dropped to 4th for a pass, and when I dropped it down, I felt a shudder, and tried to accelerate, got no response.

Any ideas based on the information given?

Also, Our fuel tanks are 14 gallons, right?
It showed me at half a tank the other day, and I gave $40 to the cashier for $3.65/gal fuel and it took all $40 and about 9.5 gallons of fuel... Has anyone else had a problem with their fuel readings being off like this?

Thanks

Sorry about the other issue, not a clue as I though you had the throttle body replaced already.

My first thought was "not again", hard to tell without the code/codes, laying down like that suggests a fuel pump issue but I'm not sure. Yup as Greybeard said, 16 gallon tank(16.2 really), that how I came up with the projected fuel costs for your trip in June.

The .2 gallon is for limping into the gas station with and is to be discounted when talking about tank size......

But "size matters" in everything right?

Sorry Greybeard, its the lawyer brain taking over, that part of my mind just has to specify that .2 of a gallon or it will explode.
