Unless you do a total ignition upgrade, you arent going to notice a real difference with aftermarket wires. If you are just going for something colored to spice up your engine bay, they will all be about the same except for the price. Summit has Nology wires for the 3.0, Options Auto has Manecors, shouldnt be hard to find any brand for the 3.0. If you had a 2.3 you could get Crane Cams 11mm for $35.

no, the bigger the wire means more of the spark gets to the plug. it will change the idle only if u had a problem with ur stock wires. the one problem i had with mine was that they wouldnt fit in to the wire looms.(plug wire tracks) other than that, i love them. look at my www for pics.

yeah, just getting wires wil do virtually nothing, but if you upgrade the whole ignition sytem for about $400 you'll probably get a better MPG since it will thoroughly burn all of the fuel if it isn;t burning it all already.
