mr mike,

hey what do the plugs look like when you take them out?
burnt at the tips? what about the distro cap are the
contacts inside tore up? if you run hot it will wear things
more so the mileage gauge may differ.

ohh i was running a bit hard and 1 of my plugs caps came
loose on the plug end.. I check everything, but it must have
been when my wife went 4x4'n hehe
