Try doing a throttle reset:

1. Get in your car, it doesn't matter if you close the door or not.

2. Turn the key to the on (not start) position, the position just before the starter
turns over.

3. Press the gas pedal to the floor with the key in the "on" position.

4. Hold the pedal to the floor for five seconds, then turn the key back
to the "off" position (don't remove the key), then release the gas
pedal.

5. Wait 2 mins.


6. Do a bit of agressive driving to get a bit better response and slow down the loss of pedal sensitivity.

Day to day driving in traffic is low performance so after a while the drive by wire throttle makes the peddle less sensitive.
If I remember a previous thread correctly, it can range from half power at 40% peddle to half power at 80% travel.
