Has anybody actually worn out a set of spark plugs in a weekend driver? I am replacing a set this weekend, but honestly I could have probably saved myself the 20 bucks and just cleaned up the ones I have. Is there really any difference between buying new plugs and cleaning up a set that has 10k miles on them with some carbon from running a little rich?

Not going to cheap out this time, I already ordered the plugs. But I just got to thinking that I probably drive my old junk what, maybe 3000 miles a year tops between the GTO and the old truck. Chances are I could clean all 16 plugs every winter for the next 20 years and not really need to buy new ones.
