Last night my daughter was on the hwy, after about 15 minutes engine started making a hissing sound and couldn't stay above 50 mph. Oil light came on. I checked oil level and it's fine. I tried to accelerate over 50 and engine seems to "give up" and starts to decelerate until I take my foot off the accelerator. I drove care home on the back roads and no issues as long as I kept it under 50 mph. Any ideas?

Well, it could be a number of things such as a bad sensor, clogged Catalytic converter, or low oil pressure. Check those things first.
