Gimmick IMO. The increases in mileage and power that are claimed would be about the same with any new plug.

The E3 plugs work great in a lawnmower or other small engines but not in auto engines. Every set I have sold for a car or truck has come back in a few weeks and been returned. Some import guys have had luck with them but nothing with any serious power. The factory plugs for your 95 would have been standard platinum, good for about 60K, you can always upgrade to Double plat or iridium which will last 80K and 100K respectively. NGK makes a good plug and they work well in imports as well as domestics. Autolite and AC Delco plugs also do a really good job in these engines. Bosch and champion I would stay away from.
