That makes sense.  Guess I misunderstood that 100LL cuts life of the 
plugs in half and that twice the "leaded" life of 25 - 30 hrs could be 
expected from unleaded gas.  That's still only 50-60 hrs.  You have to 
change plugs every oil change? 
I've never heard this happening anywhere else ... Jim S.
