Dodge Dakota Gas Problem

Automatic transmission lurches when gear changes to highest range at about 75 KM/H using normal acceleration. If accelerating more aggressively, the lurch still occurs, but now about 100 KM/H.

Mileage has also decreased. I used to get about 500 - 525 KM / tank of gas. I now get about 450 KM / Tank of gas when driving very conservatively.
