What trans do you have? If you have a manual then I would say it is time for a new clutch, if an Auto then I would say check your fluid. Other than that when was the last time you replaced things like the air filter, Fuel filter, and used a good quality fuel treatment/injector cleaner like the Lucas Fuel System Cleaner? Try that stuff out if you have not done so.

Sounds like the tranny to me. Check the fluid. I hope it's nothing more serious than needing a flush.

Is there a SES light on(service engine soon) if so get it scaned... do u smell the fuel from under the hood or the exhaust? How does it idle? Possibly a leaking injector or bad o ring.

Have a check engine light? If so, scan it and post the code(s) here.
