You have to ask Mark?  Of course I use el-cheapo plugs.  I get up to 280 hours from a set (all mogas use) or as little as 80 hrs. when I occasionally use 100LL on a long cross country. 
 
I have a few new Renesis engines (with all car accessories) in-house for the purpose of developing conversion products and strategies.  They came equipped with fine wire electrode plugs that are either platinum or iridium so next time I wear out my cheapos I'll give them a try.

Ed,
Do you know what type of plugs Tracy uses, el-cheapo or platinum?  You
said that he runs mo-gas so I assume he doesn't have the lead-fouling
problem you and others have.  So, I assume Tracy's plugs are actually
worn out after 100 hours?  If that's the case, it seems that the
platinum, or iridium plugs might give longer life.

Not certain that reciprocating engines have the same problems as their
plugs
are not as shrouded as ours so combustion process probably help keeps
blowing off deposits on the ceramic center cone.

FWIW
