Who the hell feed you that crap? Waste spark causes wear to the outer
electrode, not fouling. (Hence why you should buy double platinum over
single platinum.) If you want to argue fouling find another excuse than
"waste spark". Nearly everything GM made with Waste Spark ignition uses
double platinum plugs pre installed from the factory without issue. If
you cant get the plugs I mentioned to last more than 60,000 miles then
you have other issues.
