We were fine for about 100 miles of steady driving. By 125-150 miles it had heated the fuel in the tank enough that the fuel pressure was dropping, pump was getting real loud due to aeration of the fuel from the heat. On Power Tour there were several other cars stuck on the side of the road or fighting the same symptoms. Most were not brand new builds, and had not ever had the issue before; but they had also never been driving 200-300 miles per day like you do on the Tour, so the short trips around town will probably never shows the issue.
