    We know this though... Regardless.... 90+ octane is a smart move....
    This is true.

Maybe the species that communicate with each other through a filter of your comfort are less evolved that the ones that just communicate? Maybe your problems are your own to deal with and maybe the public giving a shit about your feelings is a one way ticket to extinction.

            Is your TPS calibrated?

                        Check trans fluid, also could be the torque converter going out. How many miles? When you say RPM rises and it doesn't go anywhere, does it seem like almost like a slipping clutch? Also, putting it in drive and it stalling is a sign of a bad torque converter. Looks like your car is sick of the auto, it's just time for a 5spd swap :)
