[s-cars] Spark Plugs

[Bill Clancy]

I'm just sayin...
I'm running $3 plugs and the car has run the best that it ever has for the 
last 10,000 miles.   If they fail soon, then that will be a data point -- $3 
plugs burn out.   Does anyone else have a data point?

I could run three different sets of tires and have three different 
experiences.   But plugs?   I'm not seein' it?
