gas mileage question
I own a 2000 GLE.

Would I be better off using the Laser Double Plat oe plugs or Iridium?

Gas mileage, performance, etc.

What's the problem?
I spent about a half hour searching this site.

How about adding something positive to my thread.

If you want better gas mileage try changing the fuel filter.
