Nah, I don't think so - the gas tank thump is most often felt at around 3/4 full, while coming to a stop. I never once noticed it while accelerating. And you can often feel the thump in your butt, not the gas pedal.
Rhonda, I suggest that you mention it at the next 5K service (unless it gets worse - then take it in right away), and ask the tech to check all the engine and transmission mounts for looseness. I had my (manual) transmission mount replaced at about 4500 miles because of funny noises. The noises I experienced were creaks and clicks at low road speeds and steady throttle, but no thumps during acceleration.
Good luck on this one, and please keep us posted.
