Scratch that, I just found my receipt. I paid $3.29 a plug for a grand total of $13.96 out the door.

well you have to remember that NKG changed the part number. i went to napa when i bought mine but the computer said they were out. i mentioned this and guess what they found? a whole mess of them in the back, you need the new part # tho.

The BUR number is the NGK number and hasn't changed. It's the store stock number that has changed. Either way if you give them BUR7EQ and BUR9EQ, they can cross reference the number. I work at AutoZone so it will cross. If they say it's NYA or they can't cross it they're full of ****

the prices really do vary alot, on the commercial side of things, last year i order 4 new plugs for this chick's 7 from orly's and the woman who takes care of our shop orders told me they were 6.49 each. i said, "what?!?" then she goes, "is that to much, i'll make them 3 each, is that ok?" when the driver brough them and my receit, it said 2 plugs for a chevy s10 2.8, and 2 plugs for a chevy s10 4.3. apparently chevy plugs be cheaper. lmfao. bur7's and 9's
