Thanks for the info. By the way, I have the same problem taking closeups of plugs. If you're using a digital camera, there may be a close-up mode in the menu somewhere. Otherwise, get the strongest pair of reading glasses you can find at the dollar store and tape one or two of the lenses over the camera lens for close shots.
Your mpg is impressive. In my experience, I could only get that with a hard compound tire like Michelins. What kind of tires are you running? (sorry about drifting to a new thread )

Other than their plugs, Bosch doesn't generally seem to have a reputation for poor products (in my experience). My old BMW motorcycle is loaded with Bosch stuff, and I believe that'* one of the reasons it'* so reliable and long-lived. Anybody have experience with their newer and/or automotive products?
I don't know what it is about their spark plugs, but I heard not to use them long before I joined the BC. So I don't.
