A couple of years ago, my SE-R's mileage started going down on long Summer highway trips. Mileage dropped from 38 mpg to 36, same drive, same Summer. Since I hadn't changed anything else, I replaced the plugs. Their gaps were all in the .055 range. After I got the new plugs in, my mileage went back up to 38 mpg on long highway drives.
