Bosch +4 plugs (was: Re: German Auto Parts)

["Daniel Adams" <adamscs@interserv.com>]

I put the Bosch Platinum +4 in my 93 90CS about 2 months ago.  The car had
turned 85,000 miles and the last spark plug change was under the free
maintenace.  Since the triple electrode NGK (the original and replacement
plugs) or Bosch were so expensive I figured I would  try the +4.  I wasn't
having any spark plug related problems before and I still don't.  My gas
mileage seems to be better by 5%, otherwise, I can't tell a difference.

regards,
Daniel Adams
