When the Splitfires came out years ago, I remember that one of their marketing explanations was that the ground electrode was split in order to expose more of the fuel vapor to the spark. I was never sure about the efficacy, though, since it always seemed to me that they were counting on people's infrequent maintenance of their spark plugs (gapping, replacing, etc.) for all of their claimed gains.
