Re: Hotter plug? (telk)
I've experienced the same problem with this "new" gas. After experimenting with different plugs, timing settings etc. I've come to the conclusion that setting my plugs .010" over works best. The larger gap seems to make the car run like it did in the old days and with no ill effects. You could give it a try and see if you notice any change. It worked for me and that's all I can say.

Assuming that you aren't already running as hot a plug as is safe, you would probably see some improvement but, as Subboz already posted, if you're running rich it would make more sense to correct that problem instead of trying to compensate for it. As Fontking suggested, a wider gap might help also if your ignition is up to it.
