    I have used them and noticed a slight increase in fuel economy, 1-3 extra miles per gallon...

    I used the Platnium 4s for my first set in the accord, I liked them.
    They got good power and economy, good choice.
    I have NGKs now.

    man, thos are stupid...Dont get them..think of Ohm's Law ..Power gos to the "Path of least resistance" ...All 4 dont really work...Just one at a time like a normal plug... There just a money maker.....And I think someone was saying that Platnium(any Platnium plug) plugs are bad in high mile cars.....Get the NGK's

    Actually, they are not stupid. They give more points of failure acting as redundancy for the spark. The more electrodes, the more chance that even after some harsh driving and soot attaches to the electrodes, there are multiple points of failure.

    Think about a RAID setup...

    And whats wrong with platnium even in a high mileage car? Its a good conductor.

    As the plugs wear out you have 3 extra electrodes to conduct the spark
