Nothing wrong with magnas from about 2000+ either, except that the rear 3 plugs are platinum and front 3 are normal?? always questioned that one as you could make all of them platbnium for service sake. you have to remove intake manifold to get to the rear 3.

I reckon max $15 on the car and sve the rest for rainy day if its your $$4 or leave it in your mortage redraw if not.

D electric cars are not near robust or user friendly yet to consider as a daily family transport yet. And toyota/honda dont tell their prius and hybrid buyers that you have to replace the batteries in 6 years at a cost of $6grand a pop.... false environmetal economy there as making and diposing of those batteries is about as harmful as all the petrol you may have used.
