E3 Sparkplugs


Saw a TV show about these plugs, said they were supposed to fire hotter, get better gas mileage etc.  Had some dyno runs that supposedly backed this up.

Is that just snake oil or is there some truth to this?  If so, I would like to try a set to see if it will help me get thru Aircare.

Thoughts?

My Experience Testing The E3 Spark Plugs

The day that I installed the E3 Spark Plugs, I immediately felt an instant performance increase. My big fat car started to run smoother, a quieter idle and the throttle response become quicker on the foot. Yah, no more delay in response!

I have gone through about 1 month of trying out the e3 spark plugs. With about 5 tank change, my mileage is reflected as 25 MPG (11km/litre). This is a huge savings for me! I am saving about US$50+ dollars per top up. This is a life saver for me.

I know some of you may have also tried the e3 spark plugs but did not get the same results that i did. My take is that for cars which are already operating at the manufacturer's specifications, the fuel savings will probably not be noticeable. However for cars like mine, which are sub-optimal, the performance boost can be pretty obvious.

They did a comparison on Horsepower (Spike TV). The plugs improved horsepower while improving gas mileage according to their dyno tests.
I don't know if they (Horsepower) sponsor these plugs or not ... you might have to watch out, because their results/claims might be corrupted.

I put a set in my Jeep liberty
 - not a huge improvment in performance , but i did notice that it does run smoother at idle & about 20km more per tank

Have you tried them in your REAL car?  The 67?  The test I saw on Spike used a newer verison of the small block.  I am just not sure.

Thanks for your input.
