Hard to believe, but it could be. Just for example though, on my '69
Javelin (with Points - No electronics), I run the plugs at .040"and the fuel
economy is actually better (19-20mpg). The stock gap on the plugs is .035".
When you change the gap to +.005", this forces the coil to send out a
slightly "hotter" spark since it has to jump a larger air gap. (Not going
to get technical on this for ease of reading.) This is a old, known, trick.
