Default Sluggish acceleration - loss of MPG

Ive noticed a huge change in the amount of acceleration to gas i give it... its almost like i have to pin it about 75% to get it to get up to speed half way decently> it never use to be liek this. I do have a full exhaust, minus headers, and and intake. Also, i have 215,000 miles XD whooo. I do have a huge loss in gas mileage too, even when im taking it easy> i thought about getting a fuel pressure regulator and playing with that... or maybe it could be my rings? idk.. im nto too sure... lemme know what you guys think...

Check your spark and air filter.
