Has the cat been changed in it's life time? Wouldn't hurt to check it along with the comp check like Erik said. A few other little things can cause it too. Start simple and go from there.

According to this you are exactly on the money.........

that's city driving tho.. my daily trip is mostly main road that I cruise 55-60 MPH on.. about a 30 min ride each way.. only 8 miles of that is back road

It IS a Ford, ya know!

waaaaaa, try 60 a week !

I havn't done anything to it yet, I'll do a comp test and check the plugs.. car only has 108,000 miles on it.. if its got low compression, I'll just run with it cause the car isn't worth it. I paid $500 for it with hopes it would last the winter.. it seems to have all the power it needs so I doubt it is the cat cause I know what happens to performance when they clog.. but it is a factory ford exhaust system, I can get it to operating temp and check the cat with my non contact pyrometer. ( 5-10* hotter on exit side of cat means cat is operating )...

It only cost's $29 per week to fill it up, so it's not that bad to drive, just if I can improve the MPG for less cost than 1 fill up, I would.
