Oreilly $4 a piece. 11 lbs torque. I'm half way through my first tank. All city driving. 19.6. All winter has been 15.

My plugs all came at .30.

They are not pregapped. I'd use a wire gap tool. They're about $4-$6.

There is no O'Riely around me. I got them from RockAuto online for 4.04 plus shipping which was about 4 bucks! I can't even drive to pick them up that cheap…

Has anyone tried this with the 5.0? I'm always interested in ways to improve mileage.

Subbed; I might try this. My truck just hit 27,000 and seems like mileage is dropping. I know it's winter, but for $25 and an hour of time probably worth the try.
