So are better single platinum (the stock ones) or should I use double platinum?, any difference in performance?, 1998 Contour V6 2.5L ATX

Also, quit driving so damn fast! didn't mention, driving to 5k rpm or so drops the mileage to 18 or so Maybe with the ATX, but I regularly shift at 5-6K and still run between 25 to 27MPG. 2000 Contour SE Sport Originator of the Beowulf Headlight Mod and the Beowulf CAI
