Do I need to tune-up my car? I tuned it up last feb, i believe. Please someone help me, i getting a little frustrated.

Try using a fuel system cleaner such as lucas fuel system cleaner (which I have used and found helpful) Also change your oil check tire pressure. If you like to tinker check the condition of you plugs maybe clean them up (watch you dont take the platnum off) pcv valve could need replacement and finally you said you tuned it up last feb but what did you do and what did you use? Let us know if these tips hellp
