Release buttons
then
Press Mode = Dash Part Number - e.g. 1731

Press Mode = Battery Voltage - e.g. V 11.8
Press Mode = Petrol Sender Voltage - e.g. FUEL 02.6
Press Mode = LPG Sender Voltage - e.g. VL 5.0

BP 91 octane, I live in a small country town with one servo, been buying fuel at the same place for 30 years and never had a problem with fuel, haven't heard of any other locals complaining about cars playing up.

i think you will need a mechanic to check the fuel trims around that driving condition
could be lean misfire, but need to know the cause

try disconnecting battery for half hour and unplug O2 sensors
make a mark so you know which sensor plugs into which loom
that will stop the ecu from changing the fuel trims from the factory values

The old plugs looked on the lean side, brown to white.
