OMG... I just checked it this afternoon, and sure enough, that is what it was (the floor mat was pushed way up under the accelerator) ... I can't believe my car accelerates so fast now!! THANK YOU BOTH soooo much. I feel really stupid

I seem to be having issues with the accelerator of my 2008 RX350. When I accelerate, the pedal is pretty hard to push down and the car is slow to accelerate. It doesn't jump forward, it just slowly accelerates. I think I just got used to it, and when my hubby and I changed cars for the day, he really noticed it. I also noticed it when the rental RX350 I used (while my hubby's car was being serviced that day) didn't seem to respond that way. I called the Lexus dealer and they told me it may be my gas I am using, since I wasn't using one of the major gas company's gas. So, my next fill-up, I filled up at Chevron and I don't notice a huge difference. Anyone have these issues or know what is causing it? Thanks! Dana
