I switched to Platinum Plugs maybe 10 years ago (?)..

I immediately saw a 3-4 mpg increase in efficiency. In every automobile I had.

The Schucks clerk (for what THAT is worth) said that all the newer cars now
come standard with Platinum Plugs.

I know that a certain percentage of people hate them.

Don't understand that.

If it is the shape (configuration), then maybe there is a controversy.
Different shaped eletrodes and porcelain center-posts. Turbulent explosions, etc.

But there can be no controversy about Platinum withstanding oxidative corrosion
of the spark plug surfaces.

No one has ever given me a decent explanation of their dislike of Pt plugs
and usually only rail against them w/o reason.

Why toss them?

OEM? OEM usually means the cheapest thing they can throw in there to save 10¢
on each car that goes out the door.

Bean counter's rule the automotive manufacturers...

Besides - saving on gasoline offends the oil companies....
