You are absolutely correct. Hotter plugs are used to burn through
accumulations on plugs. My first car was a used Chevy Vega. A couple of
ranges hotter could actually let me burn a quart of oil in 100 miles
without fouling the plugs. Which brings us to the next question. Why
are the plugs fouling? Is the hotter plug a band-aid fix?
