Thanks - I've noticed this in several cars but it could be that the
additional .5% drop in MPG figures that it would take to make your car
run smoother is unacceptable. My guess is that when we get to throttle
by wire systems this effect can be eliminated. Of course, this is all
speculation. :-)

One owner here uses the Bosch x2 and seems to be happy with them. Both
the Bosch's and NGK's thin electrodes should help lower voltage
demands. But Mark was saying that it's the DC current lapse. Well,
it's getting above me so I just leave it at that. I just leave my
battery with periodically cleaned posts in there ;-)

BTW, I'd stay away from the Denso plugs, which Toyota also specs. IMO
they're not as good as the NGKs.

Hey, now Toyota's Lexus ES350 (equivalent to Camry V6) is having
sudden acceleration problems. So maybe those owners rather have the
hesitation problem, you think? ;)

"Federal regulators have stepped up an investigation into 98,454 Lexus
ES 350 sedans after amassing 40 reports of unintended acceleration,
including eight crashes and 12 injuries, along with cases in which
drivers said their cars stopped only after an accident."
