He probably got iridiums. The Bonneville GXP plugs are Iridium plugs that are designed to run 100k miles.

That'* why they get the name stealership, for the GOOD deals they give. If I did not like the parts guys down there I would not go for them good deals. But the parts guys are the best at the local GM dealer so I just set up direct deposit and let the paycheck automatically transfer down there.

In all honesty, You can get iridums for less than $9 a pop.

NGK XI Iridiums (which I have used before with excellent results) are $6.88 each, Champion iridums are $6.40 each, NGK Premium Iridiums are $8.18 each, Denso Iridiums are $7.62 each, and ACDELCO Iridums (part number 41101), are...



drumroll...





$5.73 each. Rockauto.com. Go see for yourself. Yes that doesn't include shipping, but that also doesn't include the 5% discount code that is always available and you can find anywhere with a quick google search. If you bought the same ACDelco iridums that I provided the part number for, you got hosed. They call it a stealership because they rip you off.

Shipped price for 6 of those ACDelco iridums is $35.84 to my house in northern Illinois, which includes the 5% discount code.

My old plugs were Autolite Double Platniums. I have noticed the car starts quicker with the new Iridium plugs. Hopefully I'll get at least 10 more mpg to help pay for the cost of them! LOL
