Hi Everyone,
I own a '97 CR-V with 111K miles on it. I am in the process of having a tune-up and would like to ask everyone about their opinion if it would make a significant difference in performance, or otherwise gas mileage (most important!) if I install those NGK Iridium spark plugs? (I undestand that Honda uses NGK spark plugs as factory installed for the CRVs.)

Yes you will get better gas mileage but you will case a "spark advance" in the cylinders and this will eat you rings, trust me, been there done that! Stick with the NGK's.
Just my advice!
