Drove to Boston the other night from CT (2hrs each way)

On the way there, holding 70-75, slight uphill, light throttle, and intermittently - the car would skip occasionally, felt like a hard jolt. More throttle would smooth it out.

Filled up in Boston with 93.

On the way back it was doing the same thing, intermittently. Seemed to be getting a little worse. At about mile 100 from the fillup (5min from home) it went into full random misfire and brought on a flashing CEL. Took it out of gear, revved it to 5 or 6k and it cleared up. Finished the drive home with nothing more than the random skip.

Brought it to pepboys for a free scan on my way home from work yesterday - no stored codes.

Had a friend bring over his Innova 3150 scanner, no stored codes.

Will a durametric be able to show me what's happening? Anyone have any ideas?
