While driving at about 55 mph I accelerated to pass a vehicle, the gas pedal stuck after I took my foot off. I shifted to neutral and back into drive. The car began to accelerate again. I shifted into neutral a second time and looked down at the pedal to see the floormat caught on the bottom of the pedal. I kicked it away from the pedal and resumed normal driving. Upon arriving, I inspected the floormat, which is original, and found it was still attached to the mat hook. The design permits the mats to rotate and catch on the pedals apparently.
