Spark plugs change made a difference!

2002 9-3 SE, half stop/go traffic, half highway (in terms of time on the road, not miles). ~25K miles total (1 year old car)
Changed out the plugs and the tips were worn and black. The gap was definitely way above 0.039" (1.0mm) (Didn't measure it)
Put in NGK #6 copper plugs ($1.65+tax each at Advanced auto (or was it AutoZone..) and changed the oil, had a bottle of Techron in a fresh tank of regular 87 octane gas, and the car feels noticably less sluggish!
I checked my K&N air filter and it was very clean even after over 20K miles.
Next on the list will be to check the throttle body to get out the last (possibly) little bit of inefficiency in the system (that I can handle..)
Thanks guys!
