Well, I WAS going to buy them online, but they run me about the same as Autozone.
Found the Bosch ones on Ebay for 128 for 2. Or 75 bucks for each at Autozone. I'd rather drive there and have them right away to do this as soon as possible than have to wait for it to save 20 bucks.

Autozone has the Bosch ones....which seems to be the ones everybody prefers. (or the Pelican ones).
So, I think I'll be fine.
I'll probably take care of this Saturday if I get my taxes by then. If not...then, I might have to dig into savings cause that gas mileage is killing me. (which is funny cause I don't drive ANYWHERE....I live like a mile from work, and the town is about 4 miles out. My girlfriend DOES live about 75 miles out, but I see her once every weekend.)

I've been watching videos on how to do it....and it seems even easier than the spark plugs. And I already bought the tools (to replace the spark plugs),...I just need to get the Sensor extractor, and a Torque Wrench.
By the by, ...does the torquing matter that much? I read it was around 30 lbs....but, is this another one of those "tighten, and give it an extra quarter turn,...and that should do it". type of things?
