I agree that the regular plugs work as well as platinum plugs. I found the
following info. at the NGK website--it's the reason I wanted to buy
platinum plugs:

"Platinum spark plugs last much longer than conventional spark plugs and
perform more consistently over the course of their service life."

One poster said that the gaps of regular spark plugs change as the tips
(aka electrodes) of the spark plugs slowly gets shorter. He said that the
electrodes of the platinum plugs remain about the same for over a year. I
believe that he is correct. I took the a close look at the plugs that were
removed from my vehicle. Some of the gaps were no longer correct. The gap
was only correct in one of the four plugs. When the plugs were
installed--all of the gaps were correct (and the same). Hopefully, when I
remove the platinum plugs in two years--all of the gaps will still be
perfect.
