She started burning a tad more fuel lately and I got a whiff of fuel a few times while she was warming up I will do screen shot tomorrow of it running while on my scanner and maybe you might see something I am not very good on the values or understanding what they mean

If the weather is cooler than normal, that would explain more fuel being burned and the stronger smell of fuel. Also if the gas stations are selling winter blend fuel higher consumption rates is also typical.

i'm just curious, the 2 plugs that are furthest right
1 in the upper image, 1 in the lower image

Are the Gaps the same on those, as the other 6 ?

Might be running a bit rich on one/two cylinders?

Just wanted to say thank you to the guys who took their time and looked at my plugs and gave me their opinion instead of giving me links to look at, I really do appreciate it. I needed some different opinions from people that are a lot smarter than I am. Thanks again. Here is a few screen shots from my scanner. This was at idle.

If the weather/engine is cold the computer will send more gas to the cylinders. Also when the engine is cold hook up the scan tool and with the key on engine off look at the temp sensor reading(s). See if that coincides with the ambient temp. The temp sensor and ambient temp will not be exact but should be close or reasonably close. If the temp sensor is bad the sensor will read zero or it will have really high reading. Those plugs look good by the way

80% of info found on this site is 32% accurate, multiple sources help to separate the shiite from shinola. Lots of good stuff ,but some not so good too.

Map looks a little low to me if at idle in neutral. What is your baro reading?
Your coolant temp is also low if fully warmed up with a stock stat.
