800 mile roadtrip

Before you go any further, get under the car and trace the fuel lines from tank to carb. I had a car do EXACTLY what you describe...a piece of road debris (stick, probably, since the line and area around it had no rock scratches) pinched the metal fuel line. Mine was basically under the driver's seat, but it could be anywhere.

Though...the "surge on major bumps" part kind of throws me...
I'm thinking there's crap floating in the bowl that gets shaken up every time I hit a bump. I'll check it when there's a little more light outside. I caught a hotel room.
