Highway kickdown falls on face, the longer it's floored more the RPM'S drop 200 1991

Well,
I drove it in this morning and floored it on the highway. It accelerated normally and the kickdown worked properly with 3/4 tank of gas. I guess when it is getting down into reserve, it wasn't gettting enough gas? I have never had this problem on my 1987 245. Even if the gauge was in the red, it would still kickdowm and accelerate properly. Fluke? I normally don't let my tank get that low, but it still shouldn't starve for gas when the gauge needle isn't quite in the red yet?
