Subject: Fuel Pressure Problems

Just started having a change in fuel pressure at cruise.  I have a Legacy ... 550N ... been cruising 40 to 60 degrees lean of peak with no problem, with fuel pressure above 8.2 psi. Depending on altitude 2500 rpm - 2300 rpm ... 11.5 to 11.8 gph ...
 
The last few flights I can not get 40 degrees lean of peak at any altitude without the fuel pressure dropping below 8.0 psi ... even if I turn on the fuel pump to low = 9, 500 - 11,500 - 12,500 ????
 
any ideas on what is going on???? Takeoff fuel pressure is 28.0 psi ....  
 
Thanks ...
