Keep the money in your pocket. These iridium plugs do not add anything 
to your car and certainly not better combustion, more miles to the 
gallon or more power. They just drain your wallet. Initially they will 
improve matters, but that happens with any new set of plugs. I have 
tried several times with various cars and the outcome is always the 
same: No improvement beyond "just a set of new plugs".
