2002 Saturn L200 has been having trouble accelerating up hills. The RPMs increase and the enginegets louder, but the car continues at the same speed until the road flattens out. I have used "Gum-out" and this has not helped. You can almost see the fuel gauge go down, I drove for approximately fifty miles and it took a quarter tank of gas. I would really appreciate your expertise. I thought it may be the catalytic converter, but not sure.

Sounds like a plugged catalytic converter.
