Spark Plugs



Well I drive mostly highway and put 85 - 100 miles on the car a day (cept on
weekends).  95% of that is highway driving.  

Hey, everybody who uses nkg's... could you let me know how often you need to
change your spark plugs?  I certainly don't mind changing them often seeing
that I spend about 2 hours a day in my car I tend to thow a little more
money and care into than I normally would.  I figure if I spend so much time
in it it might as well be nice. :o)

well I did to some testing on my 8v and basically I remained with my bosh 3
prong plugs.

I did try the single and multiple platnium's and though they work I found
that it was really a matter of gas comsumption that was the difference.
on the copper I get 25 in town, and 34 MPG on hwy
with the platniums it was 28MPG either town or hwy driving..

its all about what you do with your car... TExas is a HWY state, not many
small roads.. and you have to be on the hwy alot to go anywhere..

=>What kind of spark plugs does everybody use here?  I've heard a lot of
=>people scoff at the idea of using fancy spark plugs with twin prongs.
=>However, back when these types of spark plugs first came out we notice a
=>nice increase in gas milage on our truck when we switched to them.  Right
=>now I'm using the Bosch platnium +4's but have heard people here talk bad
=>about them.  They seem to work great for my car, I'm on my second
=>set right
=>now.  However, what do you all feel is the best plugs to use and what are
=>arguments against +4's?
