I got a 2006 Stratus, put the pedal to the metal a couple of times because it was slow on pickup going onto highway. Sooo now the mileage is poor, 22 mpg and I am wondering, did I harm the engine?/ no engine lights just poor mileage. I think I got about 28 mpg first fillup Replies to this message: toysaveddodge (May 11, 2009 7:24 pm)

Replying to: gvirginia (Nov 08, 2008 5:16 am) I will let you know one of the tricks of the trade to a 16 valve DOHC ....you should use at least 89 grade octane as gasoline to give that extra boost and just maybe your gas miles. As, you might notice that a Stratus is rated to get only 22-23 miles to the gallon anyway.
