1999 Ford Escort 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

I have a 99 escort ZX2 I have been losing a lot of fuel and every time I go to accelerate my car it moves forward and jolts and then is fine. Its almost like it has a hard time going and then finally goes. These are my two main concerns. Is the loss of fuel a part of it? It has been jolting for a while now but seems to be getting worse. Any help with this one would be appreciated! Thanks!
