Default EPC light?... and dragging tail (more)

Ok hoping someone has some insight on this... for the last couple of days my car has been dragging ***. Not all the time, but often enough that it's obvious something is going on. At times it feels like it's missing, just a bit, but definitely noticable. 7500mi and a TIP btw.

So yesterday I'm driving and notice on a couple of occasions, that a yellow warning/indicator light blinks on and off. NOT the traction/esp light. I'm 99% sure it was the EPC light, but it was so brief, and occured only under some hard acceleration that I couldn't get a good look at it, i know it sounds funny. Anyway it's the only yellow light in that approx. area of the dash.

So on my way back home i stop by the dealer to see if they can take a look and i get told they can't even plug it in until monday. Guess things are busy here.

Any thoughts on what this is about??

Oh the good news is my service rep said no problem on hyperflow or catback... so i guess i have to spend more $$$

What kind of gas are you using? (Brand and octane)

Default Chevron (usually) 93 oct. - that was my thought as well, but

i wondered about the gas, maybe a bad tank but i ran it down and filled up and still have the problem

thanks for replying, any other thoughts as what could cause this?
