Almost double the recommended gap, but the car still ran decent? Ford coil packs FTW!
Your new plugs probably helped out a bit too.
actually yeah it ran alright. it seems smoother after i adjusted the gap and then again when I replaced them.
I noted that adjusting the gap was giving about 10 miles per quater tank when driving for mileage.

First tank in the Mystique got me 31.7mpg... First half of the tank was around town, second half back and forth to school which is about 25 min or so on the highway...
I really should check the plug gap and whatnot but with school and whatnot i've been too busy to do much of anything.
Next tank's goal: 35mpg
Gonna drive like a grandma. No cruising at 70mph for me on this tank...

Ok so I didn't hit 35mpg but 34.2mpg isn't too bad either...
