seems like plugs and wires are the way to gain back some of the lost gas mileage -- my buddy has a 00 turbo beetle and he saw a nice improvement after plugs and wires
i'm waiting on another friend of mine in a 00 3rd gen eclipse to install his plugs and wires to see if he sees the same results

these are usually the first things to go out before a tune up is required, along with a new distributor cap and rotor. 320 really isnt too bad. thats about what i get with somewhat aggressive day to day driving. i was able to pull out 400 on my way to tennessee this christmas. spend the money on the wires, oem are fine, and go with some oem style ngk spark plugs. bkr5-11's to be exact and you will feel a difference.
