My 2005 EP3 feels dragged down when its rolling. Basically when I am in gear/on the throttle the car feels fine but when I let off the gas it somewhat immediately starts to slow down as if there is something dragging it. I never noticed this before in all of my 180K+ miles of driving the car. On second thought even when I am in gear/on the throttle getting up to speed from a dead stop or merging on the freeway I can feel some resistance. Anyone have any ideas? To rule out some potential contributors I already did the following:

1. Checked tire pressure, all tires are at 33 PSI.

*Thats all I could think of, help is appreciated.

loooool on this

isnt it normal? well whenever i want to slow down i just let go of the gas but if the car in front of me really slow ill brake, if im in 80 mph and let go of the gas it will go down real slow but i dont feel any resistance

i do that too, only if no ones behind me, so no one will bump into me because my brake lights aren't on.
had someone bump into me already from behind, but i was already at a stop and holding my brakes

do you ever smell like a cooking smell when you get out of your car? Like one of your brake calipers is sticking? My beater has a sticking caliper and it feels just like you are describing. When I get out I can smell my brakes lol
