Stick with the Supers, the Platinums tend to foul and like splitfires are
only of real gain on weak ignition systems.  The best choice would be Bosch
tri-electrodes but hardly worth the extra expense.  Better to just save the
money and change the Supers twice in the same time, or leave em in for
50-60k miles, probably won't see much difference any way round.

Not knocking the Platinums all together though, gained me 3-4 mpg on the '76
a couple years back (admittedly weak coil), have also tried them in Digijet,
Digifant vans and numerous FWD VW applications, following the mileage
carefully on all, just boils down to no change on a VW with hall effect
ignition running properly and an increased tendancy to foul, this had been
noted over the years by a number of list mebers but YMMV.
