Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)These plugs came as stock with my vehicle when I bought it new. I noticed a 20% fuel mileage drop and checked the plugs. After 40,000 miles they were showed practically no wear and the gap had changed minimally. I ordered a new set of plugs anyway just to be sure. In the meantime I installed a set of Delco plugs, the difference was night and day. The Delco plugs ran too cold so the idle was rougher and there was a slight drop in fuel mileage on top of the original 20%. When the new Denso plugs arrived I installed them and indexed them as well (even though indexing plugs on a SUV probably doesn't improve perfomance too much). The difference was definitely noticeable, there was definitely more power and the fuel mileage went back to the original 20% drop that prompted this experiment. Since all other factors that could account for a mileage drop had been accounted for I attribute the drop to blended fuels. I came to this conclusion because while on a road trip I stopped at a fuel station that sold straight unleaded fuel. With a tank of straight unleaded fuel my mileage returned to normal. If you switch to the Denso plug from a different brand I would recommend installing the Denso coils as well for optimum performance. The extra few bucks for the Denso plugs is definitely a value since the plugs will probably last for the advertised 100,000 miles and give you great performance as well.
