I was just thinking that maybe we could get some numbers and find out what the top 5 plugs are.

I tried the ngk iridium IX's for FS-DE. Ehh, nothing but more money from wallet. No better mpg, same as the oem BKR5s. The ZFR5s made a noticeable difference in smooth idle but mpg no different than the others. Kind of a wash. Not willing to try any others. Have had Toyotas for 30 years & have found that Japanese cars not to fond of anything other than ngk or nippondenso (aka denso now days). Anything else basically was toast real quick. I tried all kind of different splitfire this & 4 tip that, all BS.

Exactly. Of course they were an improvement. They were new.lol

Gasoline does the same thing to my car. I put more in and it continues to run.
