dont expect anything dramatic,,, but i would expect a better running rig for a much longer amount of time over a stock style plug.

How do you guys feel about the Bosch Platinum Plus? I have ran those the last couple of years and they really seemed to do well. I ran them with non-Magnecore wires and after market cap and rotor but still averaged about 16 mpg. Just curious as to the difference one could expect between the platinum plus and the Iridiums mentioned.

Platnums are ok, but Iridiums are better.

As you can see a lot of people swear by the Iridiums. I use the Platinum +4s in my truck and they're pretty good, but I'll be giving the Iridiums a shot next tune up.
