Never had a problem here either, people say loss of gas mileage but I never noticed any, its kind of a big debate to whether they do or don't with the majority of people saying none.

kk cool....yea I just wanted to see if there were any long term negative side effects. Gas mileage isnt a problem....as this isnt my daily driver....but then again....if your driving one of these cars....you really shouldnt be going for gas mileage haha. Thanks for the help though!

Only thing you really run the risk of is fouling them out... other then that you aren't gonna hurt anything I don't think. it's not like running too hot a plug which will cause damage.

FWIW I run alot colder plugs all the time.
