With new plugs and original coils I was getting 16 mpg. With new coils and plugs, I'm getting 18 mpg, both driving at 65 mph. The numbers don't lie.
that's great that was the case for your vehicle. are you suggesting thats the case for every vehicle out there? there are basic tests to check a coils voltage, 2mpg is a huge increase for just changing coils, maybe yours were actually bad.

the vast majority of vehicles out there will not see anywhere near that much of an MPG increase if any at all from a coil change, if that was the case it would be the #1 maint issue of all vehicles on the road! was just commenting about coils in general, most do not go bad at a unofficial mileage.
