"Today's plugs can easily handle 100K miles without significant electrode wear."

It depends on the plug type. The recommended interval varies between 30k and 100k miles.

"It is estimated that underinflated tires can increase fuel economy by as much as 3-4% (if all four tires are not only low, but near flat). Not 10%."

Not even close to true. 5 pounds of underinflation is not nearly flat.

"In fact, my last two cars have had tire pressure monitors that will hound the shit out of you if any of them is low."

Good for you. Now, what percentage of cars have tire inflation monitors? None of mine have. Of course, I don't drive luxury cars, SUVs or trucks...

"There wasn't a shred of reality in what that liar said."

Not true. I know you badly want it to be that way, but it isn't.
