Unhappy Loss of power

Lately the TL hasn't been feeling so peppy... there seems to be a sizeable power loss across the entire rpm range. It starts the same, and still idler fine. It almost feels like its shifting too soon, and it might take more pedal to get it to downshift. Also, my MPG went down by about 1. Its been about 10 days.

I tried Injector cleaner, different brands of gas (always premium), I replaced my brakehardware, changed the atf, used some intake cleaner, and checked my plugs.
The sparkplugs look good, very clean, porcelain is still white.
Idk what else to look at. It makes the car so much less fun to drive.

Fuel filters won't do this, will they?

P.s. its been really hot out lately, like 95-100.

It's the heat. Hot air = less dense air = smaller explosion in the combustion chamber. Heat soak will do the same, so sometimes you see cars icing their manifolds in between runs.
