Hi all,
I've noticed over the last few days that when I shift into 2nd gear there really isn't a whole lot of power until I hit ~2500 rpm. It wasn't like this before and now I have to give more gas to accelerate. I haven't made any changes to the car setup so I'm not quite sure what it could be. I would appreciate any suggestions.

2000 Protege SE 1.6

Thanks in advance!

Could this be a fuel type issue? Would trying a higher octane fuel help?
