Reduced Power

OK, I know this is going to sound strange, but, is it possible that my 2001 9-5 LPT wagon is slowly losing power? When I decided to buy this car, I was quite impressed with the acceleration, particularly when passing on the highway (i.e., accelerating from 55 to 75 mph). It definitely felt much more powerful during the first 1K miles or so. Now with about 3K miles, the "love" is gone and reality has set in. The car seems so much less powerful -- I don't feel the power coming on when accelerating either from a stop or passing on the highway. Gone is the sense of the "turbo effect" coming on. Is this my imagination? I have been using 89 octane fuel since new. Should I try 93 octane? Is this somehow weather related? I have also noticed a puff of blue smoke from the tailpipe at cold starts. Any responses would be appreciated.
