Oh could be serious 
lack of power denotes it could be a compression issue, that could be anything from a cracked cylinder to that injector, but I would say take the car to a garage or even better, have the car trailered to a garage and get them to look at it.

If you're still firing on all 4 cylinders it sounds like the rings have gone on one or more pistons. Fuel is getting past the rings and ends up straight in the sump. That also explains low compression.
That could cause you to blow a hole in the side of a piston at high revs/load if you're not careful. Fuel ignites down the side of a piston and when very hot will blow a decent size hole in the side of it.
