Engine problems. Engine hesitates alot, and smokes

Have a problem. Upon start up overnight or after I let the engine cool down the car will smoke just a little, and it hesitates alot when you get bellow 2,300 rpm in almost any gear, it just shakes. Driving on the street in overdrive it tends to shake if I'm not at least half on the thorttle.

Also, I got 300 Miles, on one tank of gas from AZ to CA, and now I'm lucky if I can get 200 miles. Engine has only 117,000 on it and just had an oil change.
