Sounds like you have a clogged fuel filter. I'd replace both filters. The
little clear one before the lift pump and the canister next to the oil dip
stick. Lawrence Rhodes...

Apparently I wasn't clear about "stomping on it". I was not driving like a
teenager trying to beat someone off the line. I meant that I had to keep my
foot pressed down hard to get anywhere. If I let off for even a second I
lost a lot of speed and while cruising down the freeway I had to keep my
foot pressed down hard to at least keep to the speed limit. I know to
expect to start out slow and build up. But when I'm on the freeway or in
speed limits of 55mph, which is 99.0% of my travel, I do expect to be able
to get up to speed within a decent time frame. I actually had a driver
behind me the other day waving her hand around like hurry up, hurry up. I
waved back, in a nice way, no fingers involved. I was going as fast as I
possibly could up hill.
Further more back when I first got the car and was "stomping" on it, is when
I got the 36.5mpg! I would expect to get crummy gas mileage if I were
trying to jack rabbit everywhere. I kind of ease out there and the car gets
up to speed when it's ready.
