need a little more information

is your car at proper operating temp?
is your trans slipping?
is your o2 sensor properly (up stream before the cat one ) working?
so you have leaky injectors or a fuel leak somewhere?

I've noticed alot of this kind of post now that the weather is getting cool.

You might want to replace your T-stat.

And yes check your tire pressure, clean your EGR, and throttle body.

Any Exhaust leaks?
