Edit:

I just put in the Autolite Platinum Pro/Extreme Perform. APP5364 today!

First issue: The reach on the plug was about 1/4 inch longer than the Motorcraft and I was concerned with that.
Also, the guy at the store said the gap should be 0.52 and the pugs were at set. BUT, at http://www.autolite.com, they say it should be at 0.50.

Second issue: I notice a *decrease* in gas mileage....it's aweful. I just came back from driving a distance I drive all the time and notice I used almost used a 1/4 tank of gas when I normally ony use about and 1/8.

Any idea why...could it be the Autolite plugs?? Maybe the gap being set at 0.52 instead of 0.50?

I am considering putting in the Motorcraft Finewire AZFS32FE. Perhaps I should stick with the Motorcraft....maybe my gas mileage will return to normal?

This is so frustrating!
