How about a spark plug thread
Written by humpthegrump on 8/10/2012 at 09:49 pm

I got my replacement '94 pc with about 4,000 miles on it.

First tune-up and new (iridium) spark plugs was at about 30,000 miles.

Second tune up and new spark plugs was by Leland's excellent mechanic at
over 65,000 miles.

I noticed no difference between the plugs in power, mileage or ease of
starting or pinging (I always used the cheapest low grade gasoline.)

Any quality plug seemed to last many times the 8,000 miles the factory
recommended length for replacement.


Your mileage may vary, but I was consistently averaging 47.7 mpg and I was
not a slow poke.
