E3 DiamondFire plugs are amazing...
well i have no clue, its a guestimate as to the exact gallons cuz when 20 bucks goes in the tank i get like 10 gallons usually, which puts the meter from E to 1/2 so i dunno... but yeah it seems like they breathed life back into my truck, its got better throttle response and is way smoother in acceleration, im not sure on the exact numberss cuz i dont have the money to fill the tank back up til it clicks then reset the trip and stuff so maybe when i get my cold air intake (more moneyyy...) then maybe ill the numbers, but as i explained these were mediocre calculations, and i was just happy to get my original champion Bulls**ts outta that engine, i might just be being optomistic because it costed 420$ to get those stupid champions out of there... did i mention they all snapped? all 8, trashed... i think my dirtbike maybe be next to get an e3 since my yz250f is really hard to start... 
Dont waste your money on a CAI. just go down to AutoZone and pick yourself up a Edelbrock 14x3 air cleaner. Do the Advanced Search on here for "14x3" and you will discover why the 14x3 is the better choice. We had a super discussion here a couple of months ago about it. All you need to do is research.
Dont dog on the Champions!!! They make good plugs and any plug that has been in the motor for 122,000 miles (Whether if it was a $1 or $10 plug) it is going to be a bitch to get out. I like to always change the plugs about every 30,000 miles. I also go in and change the distributor cap and rotor and the plug wires. You should prolly do that too at 122,000. Get some MSD Street Fire 8.0mm plug wires from Autozone ($40) and a NAPA cap and rotor that has brass terminals (Brass cap and rotor; $20).

Well, if your plugs were 122,000 miles old, you are going to see a big difference. I've only used E3s once and that was in a Briggs and Stratton. It seemed to like the Bosch plugs better. Never tried them in anything else but I just stay with this guide:
GM - AC Delco
Mopar - Champion
Ford - Autolite
Toyota - Denso
Honda - NGK
Any small engine - Lots run great on NGK plugs.
I just dont see the benefit from using Champions that cost $24 for 8 or the E3s that cost $60 for 8. With the gains minimal, whats the point?

and I read here the Autolite 3923 was the best to run in our rams over stock in a few different threads

Read the data. I don't care where they're made in this case, there is a heap of a data on plugs on this site (and more than that in opinions). Voiding out so many "field trials" because of where a plug is made is ridiculous.

I've used Autolite and also Slitfire plugs with no problems. Put in E3 plugs, ran great at first, smooth idle. Then started misfiring, got so bad the CEL came on.
Only got about 500 miles out of the E3's, got tired of wasting time with them. Put the old plugs back in and runs great. For me the E3 was junk, but if it works for some one else great. I'm staying with what I know works in my truck.
