Dodge Charger

[Nick Weiser]

I have a 2008 Dodge Charger Sedan, I’m told it’s the SXT version. Lately when filling up my gas tank I calculate my mileage and am averaging around 15mpg. I’m supposed to be getting around 25mpg on the highway, as that’s all I drive is highway. I have also noticed that when accelerating with my foot firmly on the gas pedal still gaining speed my rpms decreases with a sudden noticeable sluggishness that lasts a couple of seconds and then rpms return, as well as a noticeable hesitation when accelerating. I have been racking my brain trying to figure out why. Any ideas?
