Question new owner of 2009 fit

Hi All,
I've heard of Fits blowing out spark plugs and it seems there's a lot of information here. I will check the plugs tomorrow to make sure they're tight.
I am used to doing most of my own maintenance. Thanks.

My 2009 has 83,000 miles on it, previous owner did not keep a record of repairs, but the car is running well. It doesn't look perfect on the outside, but I don't care as I'm getting
35-40mpg. Came with snow tires and summers. Will be buying new/used rims so I don't have to pay $80 twice a year to change them over.

peace,
Michel

ONE was tight, 2 were hand tight, and the 4th was almost out of the hole.|||| Replaced w/ Iridium NGK's and it is still giving me very low gas milage (2 6-30mpg)
I've gotten used to getting 39-44mpg.
Guess I'll take it to a local shop and have them read any codes, me thinks one or more of the Spark Plug Ignition coils, because of past bad experiences with aftermarket
(autozone, Advanced Auto, Napa/Sanel etc etc) I 'll pay the extra cost & go OEM Honda parts.
