I've been having some troubles when driving up long hills on the freeway... I'll be going 70mph then the car gradually loses power even though I am flooring it... dropping down to 20mph. No error codes, returns to normal after grade levels out... What could this be? Appreciate any thoughts, thanks!

Low fuel level? If there is not adequate baffling in the tank it might allow fuel to slosh away from the pump.

Also, if your pump is weak it may be showing it on a hill because in addition to supplying adequate fuel for the pressure needed it has to push that whole column of fuel UP the length of the car on hills. Just spitballing.
