Cheap NGK's

If you're like me - nervous about leaving spark plugs screwed in your engine for 100,000 miles - the standard, non platinum, non iridium NGK BKR6E V-power spark plug works just fine - runs smooth - no loss in fuel use. I'll be changing them every couple of years - I can afford it at $2.24 each!

So true... the dealership quoted me $20 a plug, Advance Auto sold me a whole set for $25... the exact same plugs! Nuts!
