Fuel Filter Warning??

Are there any warning signs that indicate that it is time to change the fuel filter on a '97 P/S with Auto?

Any input will be appreciated as I am on a trip and many States from home.

Loss of power/mileage, etc. Depending on how well you trust where you get your fuel from I like to change the fuel filter every time I change the oil & filter.

There is a Plugged Fuel Filter indicator in the dash, it's by the Wait to start light. It's actually a vacuum switch that indicates too much vacuum in the filter housing indicating a plugged fuel filter. I've never had mine come on before the engine was showing signs like rangerlariate stated above
