Default Rough Idle/black pipe

Hello all,
Just got back from a road trip to GA. This morning I noticed that the 2013 is running a bit rough at idle and saw black soot marks on my exhaust pipes (?? rich). Have about 8500 miles on it. Any idea before I take to the dealer?

Thanks

I agree with oldjeep, likely you might have got some bad gas on your trip.... But before you waste your time at the stealership, toss in a full bottle of GUMOUT "All in One" fuel system cleaner and fill the gas tank. Run the gas tank down to almost empty, that way the cleaner will be full concentrate and do a better job clearing out the fuel system. If it isnt any better running after a tank of good gas, then see the stealership. Unless its kicking up pooter codes, the dealer wont be of much help.

Thanks for the help. Hope the fuel treatment works, could be crappy gas.
Thanks
