I have found going longer distances on plugs causes other problems that may or may not be apparent right away... In the old days it would burn rotor and cap due to excessive secondary resistance...NOW it causes coil packs to get hot and burn out, due to excessive secondary resistance...
I always keep the old belt in the back (along with a few tools to do the emergency change) but once they start drying out/squealing/cracking...time to kick it out, I would rather NOT have it crap out along side the road, because I was too cheap/lazy to do preventative maint.

Just hit 175k miles on my original plugs. Car still seems to drive the same and get the same gas mileage so I haven't bothered changing them.
