No hint of detonation and gets excellent mpg . 1st pic is # 1 , 2nd is #8
1. It would help enormously if you'd crop and resize pictures so the detail that mattered was more prominent.

2. Given the leaded fuel, and the additives, I don't think anyone can say for sure what's going on in that chamber based on the color of the porcelains. I haven't seen brown plugs since the lead was taken out of gasoline.

3. For 1700 miles, either the photo wasn't focused sharply enough, or you've got a lot of rounding of the center electrodes.
