Off the top of my head, a bad vacuum hose can cause a rough start.
MPG going down???
2007 2.5L Automatic I think my gas mileage is becoming worse? I drive to school and back every day which about 4 miles away, and to work and back 3 days a week and it is only 14.5 miles away, I take the highway to get there. It used a little over 3 gallons (and yes, I watch very very carefully) TODAY just doing this. This doesn't seem right? Also when I start the car, it ignites at 1500 rpms and it's super loud, so I'll put it into reverse, and it feels like something is dropping a little bit, and it gets quieter. Is it using too much gas to start??

is it normal for the car to be at nearly 2000 rpms when starting it??? it's still very loud at startup. didn't do this when i first got the car. i noticed it became persistent about 2 months ago.
Have you scanned the car; for trouble codes? Please post any and all trouble codes here, we will try to help!
A common problem on the 2.5L; is the PCV valve that is built into the valve cover fails! This can cause; an uneven idle issue and trouble codes.
Check out this thread for a inexpensive fix; from Dorman.
