The other thing I do not get - unless the plugs are REALLY fouled I can't imagine changing the plugs will do anything for mpg. Not like the engine will notice a new plug and inject less fuel suddenly. |

1 edit | reply to Anonuser Doesn't the very nature of electricity make these type of plugs kind of meaningless?
The spark is going to arc to the closest ground, and when you have more than one possible path it should (in theory) go to the closest until it is burnt down some then go to the next closest-- gaining you nothing but a (possibly) longer lasting plug?
If it did arc to more than one spot simultaneously, I would think the overall detonation power of the spark would be diminished....
Just my thoughts, not trying to start a war , and I could be (have been in the past) wrong.
EDIT: Those do look rather clean though  |
