Pulstar Plug Review

amundaza

Good morning everyone,

Just posting a review of the Pulstar Plugs ( www.pulstarplugs.com ) for MPG increase. I installed a set on Thursday in my 2000 Ford Focus SOHC 2.0L. Typical mileage on the car is 28-29 city and 31 highway. Best mileage ever was 33.5 & 34.3 on two tanks about 2 years ago, but not seen that since.

Two weekends ago, I drove from Oxford, MI to Tawas City, MI, up I-75 and back. Netted 31.5 MPG, which was the best MPGs I have seen for a long time.

After installing the Pulstar plugs, I went back up to Tawas City, MI this past weekend. Netted 35.5 MPG, an increase of 4 MPGs, a 12.7% improvement! I could literally watch the gas gauge move slower.

I will be running a tank of gas for city-driving this week and will post back the results for that.

For those interested in checking out the plugs, the main website is www.pulstarplugs.com … FYI, the plugs are at a set price of $24.95 each EVERYWHERE, including Ebay. The cheapest place to buy them is at www.tunertools.com as they have CHEAP priority mail shipping, which saves about $6-$8 over buying direct from Pulstar or on Ebay (inflated shipping costs to cover eBay fees).

I wonder how a capacitive discharge ignition would work with a capacitive discharge plug :-|

Is your Focus an automatic or a manual?, my GF's "01 with the same motor and a 5spd gets 41-42 on the highway, I run Autolight dual platinums in it. It's recently had some running/drivability issues, I had to replace one of the oxygen sensors and the Delta Pressure Feedback EGR regulator, what the hell they've got that on there for I don't know, but according to the guys on the internet it's one of about three or four emissions crap that goes bad!???

The other question is how old were the plugs you replaced. Generally these new 100k mi. platinum plug burn out around 60 to 80k. Most likely you would have seen a similar MPG gain by replacing the plugs.
