you will only have to buy 5 spark plugs and if changing leads, 5 of them. A
good thing is there is more room under the bonnet than the V6 when its
requires to be worked on.

As for fuel, it will be a little worse than the V4 but better than the V6

otherwise a wonderful engine. I also understand they have used the oval
piston/cylinder design on this model.
