Is it worse on some days but not others (specifically, is it worse on hot, muggy days)?
It sounds like (knowing nothing about your car or cars in general) there might be some water or condensation in the gas line (probably between the fuel filter to the carburetor. Get some drygas (a fuel additive) and pour it into the gastank before the next long drive. Check the fuel lines for any obvious leaks. Really check where the line connects to the fuel filter. If this doesn't help at all, I'd agree with the vapor-lock diagnosis. Nissan's are famous for it. Give the insulation tip found here a try :http://autorepair.about.com/library/faqs/bl828.htm I think that the problem will start to go away as you near winter.

Were there other symptoms leading up to this, or did it start all of a sudden? It really started this summer. There hasn't been any other real problems with it besides this.
