Gas Milage with diff plugs?

When i switched from Iridiums at 6k miles to BRP7ES' i know the Iridiums were still probably ok.

It seems like my gas milage got a little worse, i set the gap to .028.

Do any of you guys notice a drop in gas milage when you changed your plugs from Iridiums?

well i dont do any highway driving, and last time my city average came out to be like 19.8-20, i did it by dividing the amount of miles by gallons filled up thats what i did.

The last 3 times i filled up with the BPR7ES plugs, i came out to about 18.2-19 mpg, so about a mile per gallon drop, my driving habbits were the same , No A/C was used.

I did the same...gapped them to .025 and no loss of power and no decrease in gas mileage....weird.
