Hello Davey, I have tried putting premium fuel in the tank and it definitely runs better. I have also noticed that moving the pedals closer allows quicker throttle response. To tell you the truth, I recently changed my spark plugs and cleaned the throttle body although I am getting better gas mileage it has not made any noticeable difference in acceleration. My first two suggestions however made a little difference in acceleration. Take as it were. Good luck to you.
