one thing i noticed is that it feels like its being held back when just coasting.
like, it i'm not pushing the gas, it totally feels like something is holding the car back.
i didn't notice that before.

Sounds like DFCO - deceleration fuel cut-off. The ECU turns off the fuel injectors and uses the engine as a compression brake to help you slow down and burn less gas.

Try this for me - when you go to coast, bump it into neutral - does the feeling stay or does it disappear?
