Ok first off, most cars today use gasoline engines and not diesel engines so that has to be addressed as a factor (you cant run a diesel engine on spark plugs they use GLOW plugs) so assuming you are using a gasoline engine and not diesel then we can continue
SO assuming you are using a gasoline engine that uses SPARK plugs in the first place I do not understand the question.
BUT, Im assuming once again that you are wondering whether the different brands and or changing them out will yield better mpg
The answer to that is yes on all counts.
New spark plugs provide a better spark than older ones and as such increase the ratio of fuel actually burned inside the engine and not wasted. So it increases the mpg there
The difference between brands are many and the materials each brand uses also varies. But your car comes with normally piss poor plugs to start with so picking a relatively cheap and well made product can give you the same results as your typical run of the mill OEM product. I would take the extra money and buy a more higher end model but not the most expensive ones. The reason is that the higher end spark plugs last longer in between changes, increase horsepower, increase mpg, and are made from better quality. They are better all the way around. I hope that answered your question

Why do Spark plugs burn out?
Spark plugs don't really burn out, they foul out. A spark plug is used to ignite the fuel/air mixture squirted into the cylinder by the fuel injector. The plug sends a spark and boom small explosion. However gasoline is not 100% clean, so it leaves carbon deposits on the plug. Over time these deposits foul the plug.
What causes a rotor button to burn up frequently?
To much resistance in the spark plug wires. Start fresh with a new distributor cap, rotor and spark plug wires. Also be sure you have the correct spark plugs installed.
What is a fouled spark plug?
Fouling spark plugs can happen when the tip temperature is insufficient to burn off carbon, fuel, oil or other deposits and causes spark to leach to metal shell...no spark across plug gap will cause a misfire. Wet-fouled spark plugs must be changed as they won't fire. Dry-fouled spark plugs can sometimes be successfully cleaned by bringing the engine up to the operating temp.
