I replaced the spark plugs earlier. The new spark plugs is NGK PFR6Q from Checkers. It is gap @ .032. The old spark plugs are the very cheap Autolite. The previous owner probably tried to save money, but it end up cause me a lot of trouble. The gap of Autolite plugs are more like .042. I drove it a couple blocks I installed the NGK, and it felt better.

With the BKR5EKU plugs I got apx 27-29 mpg. All stock except for a neuspeed chip.
i use NGK G-power plugs in all my vehicles and they are the best ive found. they are about $2-3 tops and last forever, i have no complaints about the performance either.
I got on my last long trip 29-30 mpg doing 75-80 mph
I have the one sided electrode NGKs and it screwd up my mileage. but it seemed to happen once I switched the spark plugs.
OEM plugs which are NGK BKR5EKU used to get 26-28mpg @ 192k miles
I went with some NGK coppers. I dont know the exact part numbers of them but the ones I got were crap lol My MPG went down to 19 mpg.
