I'd be wary of any anecdotal evidence that one plug is better than another. Most people change their plugs because the old ones need changing. Of course the engine will run better. The engine would run better with new plugs of the same type as the old ones.

TiAgX5 quoted differences in the <2% range. I doubt that anyone would be able to feel the difference or notice a change in fuel consumption in normal driving.
