Traced the problem to some "dirty" gas I got. Filled it with a couple of tanks of premium and used a fuel injection cleaner with each one and it went away. The Mazda was preceded by a Ford Fiesta which usually ran OK, expect for one trip when it decided to cut the engine everytime I went over 53 mph. As soon as the speedometer went to 54 all the little lights came one. What made it even more fun was that this happened on a trip from Washington, D.C. to New Jersey (via the Jersey Turnpike) in December in the pouring rain and I was accompanied by my mother and two cats, one of which was an extremely loud Siamese who was very, very unhappy about making the trip. When I finally got to my sister's in New York, she said it was probably water in the fuel line, that her car had the same problem and she gave me a couple of bottles of fuel additive.
