Easiest fix. Turn OFF overdrive. It will not shift so much, and will down shift a LOT less. As you see. When in overdrive it is well below the point where it makes any power. It is lugging, which can cause it to burn oil later, and does push fuel past the cylinders, and out the tail pipe.
Turning off over drive will put the engine in the power band. That will keep the trany from building heat from shifting so much, and will even give you better MPG. It will make the motor much happier running free in it's power band, and burning all the fuel going to it.
