Car is stuttering or hiccuping XC90 2004

Our XC90 seems to be stuttering at speeds above about 50 mph and when it is "working harder," for example on a slight upgrade. If I floor the accelerator, the transmission kicks down as normal and the car speeds up as normal. It is more during gentle acceleration. I tried higher-octane gas, but that didn't help. Temperatures are very low right now (between 15 above and about 10 below zero F. Any thoughts?

Thanks guys! It was the plugs after all.

Besides the plugs, how about running a good fuel injector cleaner and cleaning the throttle body. When was the last time you replace the gas filter, do a fuel pressure test. Fuel pressure regulators can caused some strange problems.

How long since it had a new set of plugs ?

Our daughters AWD Subaru has a low speed shudder when it is cold and it is something binding up in the rear differential.
