>>>I think you missed the point.   The crappy, stale gas forms in the carb, 
not on the plugs, when the car is parked.   If you put fresh plugs in and 
then turn the key, the first thing that happens is that you coat the fresh 
plugs with the crappy gas, so it wouldn't change anything.

The real solution is to start and run the car periodically even if you 
don't drive it.   Don't forget to cycle the brakes and the clutch too.
