Seems like a false economy to me. Rubber items *do* degrade over time and ought
to be replaced when they do. Granted some plugs (those big ones in the floor)
might be worth reusing, but you can get a complete plug set from TRF fairly 
cheap
(well, it was years ago I recall). It will never be easier to replace them than
it is now. Reuse all those old grommets in the firewall, and two months after
you're back on the road you'll be trying to track down the source of the engine
fumes that make your SO nauseous....
