Just curious because just about anything will get better than the cheapest plug you can test. Also are you claiming that the pulstar plugs only get better mpg's during hard acceleration and not during sustained low load driving? As a consumer i would want a plug that get's better mpg's during 95% of driving, not the 5% of crazy acceleration. Just me though. Also nobody here has a lab to test anying. We drive our cars to get good mileage. And we experiment with different ways to do that. but you can't deny that in the real world if you don't see any difference from the plugs(regardless of how you drive) it pretty much defeats the purpose of the product? If it only works in a lab or on a dyno, what's the point? I for one have tried copper, platinum, platinum 2 point, and iridium. And i can tell you that there is a deffinate difference in my real world fuel economy averages between them, even between 2 companies making platinum plugs i noticed a difference.

We compare Pulstar to new, OEM recommended spark plugs (most are platinum or iridium). Basically they are all the same generating only 50 watts of peak power (copper, platinum, iridium). I recognize that you guys are a different bread. Maybe this will help: pulse plugs first and foremost generate more torque than spark plugs. The inversion of torque is fuel economy. When you are hypermiling pay very close attention to your RPMs. If for a certain speed they are lower, then you are experiencing Pulstar torque, which will change the shift points in your transmission. Let me know your observations.
