What problems can be caused by a faulty Head Gasket?

Car acceleration or performance is not as strong as normal

When putting your foot on the accelerator the car does not respond with the same urgency of acceleration. It feels like there is a lag between putting your foot down and the car accelerating, when it does accelerate it feels like a much slower change in speed.

Fuel consumption seems above normal range

The fuel gauge seems to be going down quicker than usual, the car is using more fuel when driving in the same way as before.
