Default 96 STS hesitates when cold, poor gas mileage

Hi all,

Wondering if anyone has any ideas...

1996 Seville STS w/ 60,000miles (100,000kms)

- Intermittently hesitates when accelerating after first turning car on for a minute or so
- Poor gas mileage:
13 MPG (18 l/100km) in city;
23 MPG (10L/100km) on highway
- Recently intermittently idles/runs high (1500RPM) - have to work harder to stop the car when it does that.

Sound like anything "major" or any known Cadillac issue?

Thanks!

I'd be curious to find out about the stinkin' mpg...I have a 98 STS and I get 13 mpg also. Sheesh. Its killin me. Thinkin I might need to go grab a little P.O.S. to drive back and forth to work everyday to save the $80 a week in gas.
