Well from personal experience it does effect power......that in turn has you driving harder......that does effect your milage as you are into it harder for far longer......

How long has it been since you replaced the filters......I am asking this as it occurred in a fairly short period of time.....Timing chain stretch would takes 10s of thousands of miles to happen.....and the fact its running smooth tels me its not likely an injection issue.

THe canister filter is likely the one plugged if the prefilter is clear....prepair for both however....I think the B20 has loosened crud and clogged them.
