Default Van always "seems" like its in econo mode poor mileage though

Hey guys, Lately my 2011 caravan has been bugging me. It seems a little light on power and Ive noticed the shifting habits are as though its in economy even though it is not.


By shifting habits, Its always shifting to keep the rpms low, and when I press the accelerator to get moving it doesn't bog but it sure doesn't accelerate like it used to and she will only upshift if I hammer it.


Any thoughts?


I have been averaging 15.5-16L per 100Km/ 14.5-15 mpg is the conversion I believe.


Mileage isn't a huge concern but im sick of its shifting habits. It wants to stay around 1000rpm.... gutless bastard! lol
