i dont get it. compare what? four used plugs to one brand new one.
new plugs regardless = better performance. iridiums last longer thats all. i prefer cheap copper ones. NGK BKR7E ftw. i replace them about ever third oil change. 10k - 15k miles. -------------------- |

Yes, thats how bad my plugs were.. the copper on one of them was almost melted. prolly had more than 100k on them. I know iridiums are overkill, but i cant return them used. Anyways i am no planning on changing them frequently. I want them to last. The less i torque on the the engine and pull the cable plugs the less i will run into trouble, 200k my engine will be rebuilt anyways. Copper is a great conductor and you can change the plug gap lower, yes but i rather just take out and put in. Im lazy.  new plugs regardless = better performance yes, even the most crappy ones work better.  all i was saying, is people change your plugs regardless.  you want better mileage, anything works better than used.
