Re: Sluggish??
Running on empty is never a good thing, but if it hasn;t been serviced for a while, I would start there. If that doesn't sort it, get it on diagnostics and see ift hat shows anything.
A good bloke who understands live data should be able to tell you what's wrong.
A MAF sensor starting to fail can give this symptom along with poor fuel economy.

Not being funny, but how long's a piece of string? Could be so many things.
Get the codes and post them here, and we will see what we can do.
