Subject:Faint sputter/stutter at 70mph

So I had a faint sputter/stutter at 70mph, this happend a couple of times
ussually when on a headhead wind so I chucked the loss of power to the wind.

I had this same thing happen again after a return trip from Ann Arbor, MI to
Detroit Airport on Saturday. As I was pushing 70 and hit the gas the engine
seem to have a flat-lack of power spot. This was marked by decrease in
speed, all gauges looked good, no lack of electricals or other wierdness.

I do have an exhaust leak, but I did not hear any back fire or the like.

Ideas?

TIA,
T.
