Well I called Pep boys out of curiosity, they told me it'd be $200 for new plugs and a tune up on my car. That seemed awful steep to me considering I see plugs online for <$10 apiece.
Anyways, I spoke with a friend of the family who is a mechanic and he made me break down how and where I've been driving. I definetly have put more city miles and during rush hour on the car in the past month than I have in the past, plus it's been colder here. He also recommended before I try the tune up to use some of that fuel system cleaner (Gumout is the brand I believe) as I had never used it before, and I might have some gunk built up in there, esp as I just put in regular gas. So I'm about 2/3 thru a tank with Gumout and I've noticed an improvment. But I've also had more highway than previous as well.
I really don't want to throw much money into this, but if I don't notice it's back to normal after the first tank post Gumout, I'll try to get it somewhere for a free diagnostic.
