I participated in a manufacturer's test for better MPG with the Pulstar plugs and they made not one iota of difference over the stock plugs despite costing 8x more, so I am skeptical.
I'm afraid I don't keep mileage logs. I just go by the last tank and my recollection of the tank before that.

As for the plugs not being worth the cost, you might be right. The plugs do provide better power....so if that was the only difference, it would be worth it. I would love it if there were better gas mileage.
