So being a smart guy that i am, i bought these and replaced my plugs.... VIOLA!!!!... Got better plugs and saved a ****load of money. Car's happy, i'm happy...
Car has 70k and don't seem like plugs ever been changed. Accelleration seems to be alot more responsive now with the new plugs....IMO- don't ever go to dealers to buy plugs... they cost more and u can get better ones cheaper else where.

Don't think I have ever tried Bosch platinums though.
Most of my experience is with Toyotas and Bosch though, and from all accounts, as the mileage gains they do considerably worse than a comparable plug... up to the point of fouling plugs and running like crap.
No platinum experience though. I have three Toyotas and only one is worth putting decent plugs in. Haven't had to change them in the Taco yet, so I don't know what it has in it stock.

All I can say is that it varies... some people have claimed to lose HP.... some have said bad mpg.... some say it messes up their engine..... I had them in for 57k and they worked just fine. I was getting good mileage and no power loss.
