If it has been giving you good service, I would take one of the plugs out and buy the exact same brand and number. Don't mess with success. You can try the expensive plugs, but some people don't have very good luck with them. Then you have other people who swear by them.

Splitfires and all the other gimmick plugs have not been shown to work any better - sometimes worse - than the traditional design. Even platinums have problems. Read Project MPG for real tips:

...but don't expect much more than 11mpg from that thing. Even when I went to an all-stock '95 EFI 4.9L, I only went from 10 up to 12mpg.
