Whatever they put in at the factory. With my mods and my overt need to keep playing with them, I got 21.9 MPG.

factory plugs, and I thought everyone might like to know that I averaged 30 mpg on the drive to Oklahoma from Seattle- I was pretty happy w/ that. Normally at home I get about 18-20, though.

Yeah, that constant steady speed really makes a difference.[sm=smiley20.gif]

Still running factory plugs, although I did get a new set from Modern Performance when I ordered my MSD plug wires since it's cheaper shipping when you order multiple items....mpg varies from 19-24, mostly in-town driving....

I've got the NGK's gapped @ 40 and I average around 26mpg. Seems to me, after the new plugs and wires, this thing runs smooth as silk!

For the people using NGK are u using the platinum or the iridium plugs? The reason I am asking is that I just got back from Japan and brought back some Denso Iridium plugs and some Denso Iridium Power racing plugs. I put them in my stock srt-4 and noticed a considerable difference in gas mileage 28mpg and I do allot of street driveling. But I still have not had the time to put the power plugs in my track Srt-4 when I do ill post back in here.

I left the gap alone on the stock plugs since the car runs and idles just fine. I'll go down to .040 on the new ones to see what happens.....hope I don't blow my engine up!!!! (kidding)[sm=smiley36.gif]
