It’s quick and easy to pull the fuel filter by the gas tank outlet just to see its condition as well.

I'd get a fuel pressure gauge at the closest auto parts store (or Sears) and test the pressure, easy to do on the road, but you'll likely have to cut the hose and clamp it to fit it over the test port. Leave enough hose on the fitting you cut off so you can couple it back together for other cars.
