Hello

I have E3 Spark Plugs in my Motorcycle and they have increased the fuel mileage

by 2 mpg. My question is have any of you used them in your Motorhome engine and did you have increased your mileage? I have a 2004 Workhorse 8.1 with 12000. miles on it.

Thank You

AB7OH, Increasing MPGs by the simple addition of spark plugs on a 20,000 pound brick would have most of us achieve Nirvana however that's simply not the case.

The most technically advanced plug that we are using at this time is the Iridium tipped AC Delco # 41-101 Spark Plug.

Thanks for your reply. I watched a episode on Horsepower TV where they where doubting the claims made by E3 Spark Plugs that they will lower emissions and increase horsepower, So they ran a test with brand X spark plugs on a engine hooked up to a dynamometer and than ran the test 3 times and got the average. Than they put in the E3 Plugs and ran the test again, it showed lower emissions and again of 8 horse power and lower emission temps. So I put them in my 95 Harley Tour Glide and gained 2 MPG and noticeable power gain on acceleration. I keep tract of my fuel millage in all of my vehicles so I guess I'll try them and see if I get a gain. I avg 7.2 mpg right now with it.

Richard, please keep us updated on what you find. I have had surprising performance improvements on a few experiments (including plugs and wires) on an older 350 cid Caddie. I haven’t played with my 454 RV engine “YET” - but you know it will happen.

these kind of plugs have been around in one form or another since i was a kid. 50 years. if they were better i would think they would be the norm by now.
more snake oil. JMHO
