Default Help needed...spark plugs...

I took out several of my plugs today cause i was wondering if they might be fouled cause my 01 has a bit of an oil consumption problem. Took one out of either side of the engine, both had oil all the way up the thread and the tips were black/gray and flaky. I know part of this is due to burning oil, but could some of it be attributed to only being able to run 91 octane gas? If so should i try to upgrade to a "hotter" plug to help? If so any plug suggestions? Thanks a lot in advance. :cheers:

I just installed a set of NGK TR 55's in my 01 and they work GREAT ! I highly recommend them.
