Fuel Mileage questions V70-XC70

posted by  someone claiming to be cn on  Tue Oct 1 06:01 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Hi,

Recently changed Tires at 26K miles from Michelin MXV (very poor traction) to Lemans Tires (better traction, also much cheaper at Firestone dealers @ $45.00/each installed).

Also changed stock sp. plugs (copper FR7DC) to Platinum plugs (FR7DP).

City mileage 20 mpg.

Have not measured Highway mileage yet.

Does anyone know if platinum plugs provide better or worse fuel mileage than copper?

Thanks
