Quick take offs from the light will take a considerable amount of fuel which will have you running to the gas station all the time. Take it easy at the light, if there isn't money on the race, you have nothing to prove. Oh, and the tornado thing at autozone doesn't work!

Some ideas:
1. Brake draggin? Check those rear brakes, and make sure a cable isn't hung!
2. What is your OBDII readout look like? I'd be looking for a dying O2 sensor, etc.
3. Fuel leak? Do you smell gas smells?
4. Clutch / tranny slipping.
Seriously, I drive my 98 Jetta hard, and I get 28 - 29 mph (stick, mostly highway) and you should be in that ballpark.
