You only need to stay off WOT in the first 4 km, even
2 km is enough. Drive the same way each time you want
to perform the test and that should be enough to tell
you whether the plugs are loose.

If you see a large difference in fuel consumption when
you perform the test, start looking for a reason. If
you have not changed your tyres then it could be the
plugs or other O2 sensor etc.
