Correct. No P = copper plug, P = platinum plug.
The platinum will last longer.

so it's probably worth the extra 1.50 per plug

There's never really been a concensus if you truly get more bang for the buck from a platinum plug - it's known that you *do* get more life, but how much more? If it only lasts an extra 2000 more miles, it might not be worth the extra cost. If it lasts twice as long, it's definitely worth the cost.

The price on the plats has gotten more reasonable, so I think it's worth going with them regardless.

you'll probably foul them (the platinum's) before you even get into the "extended" period.

well i changed the plugs (just went the the regular 9 all around, no plat) and she back to pulling like a freight train. This damn car scares me because something always goes wrong and i'm always so scared to find out how much it's going to cost me. this time i was lucky, i guess
