    I think the petcock lost vacuum and cut off fuel. I had plenty of gas so I went to PRI and took it back up to 80 and it stayed there.

    You may have had the same thing happen if it was running wide open, a loss of manifold vacuum on the petcock valve.
    Sounds likely, although that definitely wouldn't account for the issue that put me on the side of the road during rush hour in Chicago.
