I was under the impression the end of the ceramic is more cruisy ranges and right in the plug at the top of the ceramic is where you'll find WOT readings .... and you usually need a torch or good light for this!
as for the brown, im not sure that's from additives, I get the same results with methanol ?!?!

No matter what the question is, the answer is always more horsepower!

Re: Fuel economy and spark plug gaps
here is mine.
2 random plugs. My shitbox VP has always had a heap of cylinder to cylinder variation in the plugs.
detonation? probably as I can hear it sometime on WOT on a 40c day with currently no console and a busted sifter boot letting in all the engine noise.
And its hammers off its head when the knock sensor is bypassed "clak clak clak"
but boy does it go a lot faster!
