Hesitation

Tonight I was driving around and when I took off from a stop light, I took it really easy as I am trying to see my best MPG that I can get, but the car hesitated, had to give it a little more gas to get it moving. I couldn't get it to do it again but was wondering if others have experienced this. I have a 2000 auto. with 59000 miles. I have been contemplating changing the spark plugs for a while now because I know the previous owner of the car ran 87 octane in it for the first 48000 miles. I have been running 93 now so I was thinking that it might be the spark plugs. Any thoughts on this? Thanks

when were the last spark plugs changed? I would give that a shot if its almost time to change them.

hesitation seems like coils but you changed yours so...next guess is old plugs.

your almost @ 60k. I would have a full 60k inspection and look at the stuff the book says to change/check.
