get the injectors serviced, should fix the drama.

Black smoke = injectors
Blue = oil
White = water

Basically $100 an injector for complete replacement if yours are way out of spec. If yours can be recalibrated, about half that. But usually when 4 are gone you would do the set. And at 280km's, depending of course on when they were done before, I'm sure they'd be needing a change.
But you wont regret changing them, more power, smoother engine idle and revs, consistant fuel consumption... i.e. big benefits.

and the people following you would prefer it ;)

Also make sure that the air filter is clean and nothing is blocking the air intake system.
