Uhm....as far as I've ever seen NO plug is gapped correctly when you buy it. That's why you invest the $0.99 in a gap wheel

I love my 5E's. I got mine at Napa. I don't know if it's the plugs, or if my car's just been in a good mood, but it has 'felt' better accelerating through the RPM sweet spot ever since I put them on. My .02.

NAPA carries NGKs. I buy mine from them. BKR5E-11 is one range hotter; I run those & get ~28 mpg. And even if you bought plugs that were supposedly pre-gapped, why would you not take the time to be sure they were correct? The tool is cheap and you can be positive they are gapped correctly. I do not mean to insult but if you are buying plugs that you supposedly do not have to gap, that is just plain lazy.

Every single plug of the NGKBKR7E's(turbo) I have gotten, never needed gapped, but I do check with a gauge just to be sure..its always good practice. If you get the 7E-11's, you need to gap those smaller..(turbo) I order mine from Adavanced Auto parts, can get them next day usually.
